I Only See My Kids In My Dreams

11/3/2011

The other day I had another dream of my children.  I saw my son Gunnar, he ran up to me burying his head into my chest.  He didn't want to let go and neither did I.  Then Kianna ran up to me hugging me and giving me kisses.  Soon all three of us were crying.   The images of my children were vivid and seemed so real. We had so much to catch up on since it has been over two years when we last saw each other.  I was so happy to be reunited with my children again. Then suddenly I woke up and started really crying realizing it was just a mirage that faded away.  Sadly, I also become conscious at that moment that I will only see my kids in my dreams.

On August 6th, 2009 my ex-wife Naoko Numakami took our kids to Japan on a vacation but she did not return. She has abducted our kids violating our custody arrangement.  The worst part is this has isolated our kids from a loving father who was very active in their lives.  I have since found out Japan is a black hole for child abductions where many parents abduct their children leaving left behind parents like me without the right to raise my kids.

It has been two years and I still do not know where my children are living or how they are doing.  I send cards to my kid’s maternal grandparents for their birthdays and all the holidays but they are always returned – unopened.  Unfortunately all communication has been cut off.  I no longer have the opportunity to take my children camping, hiking, to fly model rockets, to see a show, help them with their school work or talk about life with them before they go to bed.  These were common occurrences which we shared before their mother kidnapped them to Japan.

Now I am forced to place my children’s fate into hands of our Federal Government, specifically in hands of the Department of State.  The State Department constantly tells left behind parents they are doing everything they can to return our children.  However, we don’t believe it.  Unable to resolve even one case with the Japanese Government leaves me little faith that they will fight for my children.

This whole situation has been very difficult on me, as well as my family.  My parents, brothers and sister will never get to know Gunnar or Kianna.  Somehow I continue to go on and every day I pray for their safety and their return. When I can sleep, I periodically have dreams of my children.   Often by the time the dream is over they end up being abducted again. The nightmare I live with is knowing this is the only time I will ever see my children.
