Second Chances: the Network

It's my bright, clever, funny, sweet little girl's birthday.

She's a big ten year old and not my little baby anymore and that's tough, but I'm proud to be the dad of a kiddo in the double digits.

Happy birthday, Lyra Alexandria Banner. Your mom and your big siblings and I all love you so much.

Maybe this isn't the vibe I normally give, but I don't care, 'cause...

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!

Apparently it's National Candle Day. There's a table set up down in the lobby with those jar candle things.

I got Sugar Cookie.

I refuse to apologize for the person I am about to become.

It's my birthday and I have a birthday crown!

Don't forget to come to my skate party! I'm gonna have nachos and a cookie cake!

They said I can't go home. Is that true?

All the apps on my phone look different and they told me I have to go to public high school because there's no Academy here. I don't know Stela isn't It's very strange.

Mr. Kent, I'd like to leave this place now, if it isn't too much trouble. They won't let me go without you or I wouldn't bother you.

Free candle? Yes, please. I grabbed Vanilla Cupcake. I almost grabbed Santa's Cookies, but after smelling nothing but cookies for hours the other day, I thought I would try something different.
