The Home on Cantata Drive -

  Well we have moved on.  The move from the house on Cantata Drive seemed to be a curse, but ended as a blessing.  Abi and I (Paris) are highly allergic to mold and well unless you have a mold allergy you just really can't understand.
  I will post photos later but for the most part I'm just glad to finally be moved.  We started having mold issues with mold growing and we were complaining last year to the landlord. His solution was to spray it with bleach, paint some kilz on it and cover it with white contact paper.  We notified him of mold in the bathrooms upstairs and downstairs in the kitchen.  Literally all of our belongings are ruined and we are having to get rid of them. Everything.  We hope to at least be able to selvage some of our school items. It is just too expensive to replace. However it we have issues moving to our next place those items will have to go as well.
  We ended up because of the mold that it took us an extra 5 (five) days to move.  The landlord had workers coming in through out our packing as well as realtors.  It was more than difficult getting anything packed or moved because of this.  We couldn't keep the air filtered with the Hepa filter that we have so Abi was having more seizures than normal.
  The final week of moving while we were trying to pack Abi was having seizures so we kept her and Natascha in the van  in the Hepa filter and watching movies and heating up food in the van.  It was just miserable for all of us. We were able to get a hotel but it was basically a place to come and sleep and go back at it the next day to move.  We also had to pay for help just to get someone to help Allen with furniture and move items so we were not staying any longer than needed.
   The day we finished moving the girls were eating in the car and Allen and I in the house.  The workers came to paint the living room so all of our things we had packed we then had to move with in the house so the workers didn't get paint on anything.  This took even more time.  The landlord, also decided to bring his family , his wife, and both of his children ( I am assuming it was his children I have never met his family) as well as another man and woman. They decided to take lawn chairs and their picnic baskets and food and put food and their goodies on the table outside.  Then the owner decided to fill the pool with more water ( he ran the water for over an hour, maybe longer) then his children and family got into the pool and played in the pool until it was starting to get dark. They spent hours in the pool.  My girls feelings were hurt so bad they cried.  They wanted to be playing also but we couldn't as we have no help and Abi can't go into a public pool because of the chemicals of the chlorine and sunscreens which is why we rented a house with a pool.
  He told us to take care of our child (Abi) earlier in the week , he didn't seem to care she was having seizures he seemed angry that it was taking so long to move.  Well thats what happens when you have no help and your moving with a special needs child.  I just can't believe that someone could be so mean as to do what they did.  It angers me.  He also allowed the adult man who came with him to come in our house (we were paying rent) and ask for toilet paper?  This is just seriously un called for and rude.   He wanted to sell the house and apparently was going to do what he had to and force us out of the house by not fixing things. I just hope and pray whoever buys the house is smart enough to see the mold and hold him accountable for it. We also found out that he charged us for 7 (seven ) days instead of 5 (five) days.  He also called himself a Christian.  I'm sorry I just don't see it in his actions.
God my prayer is this : Matthew 7:5 "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.  * My prayer is that I never be this hateful or mean to someone or anyone.  It is also my prayer that my children never see me act that way to another.  God please shelter us from mean spirited, callous people .

  I have forgiven them because my Father says He will not forgive me if I do not forgive them.  It is wrong what they did and I will give it to God and let God deal with it.  Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

We are still in the hotel so that we can continue treatments and therapies for Abi.  We are working on trying to do a fundraiser so that we can extend our stay to help with hotel and other expenses while here.  

  In the next few months once this set of treatments and therapies are over we will be heading East to Texas.  

God bless you,
