This Saturday, I'll leave for New York City for a quick trip to pick up Inara and bring her to Miami for the winter (which, now that I think about it, will make her just like every other New Yorker).
To say that I can't wait to see my daughter and that I'm looking forward to spending almost two months with her is the most gargantuan of understatements. The truth is that having her with me for Christmas is going to be the only gift I want or need -- the only thing that matters.
For a long time while we were together, there's a song I always played around this time of year that would never fail to make me think of Jayne; she may not even have known it, but I considered it our Christmas song, my song dedicated to her. I guess now I have no choice but to make it my song for Inara -- and in a way it fits pretty well, all things considered.
It's not just one of my favorites from Billy Joel -- it's one of my favorites period.
Give it a listen.

I just couldn't be happier for you, Chez.
She's so beautiful, Chez. Just so, so beautiful. And I'm sorry dude but your ex is a fool.
What's the song? I'm in Buenos Aires and stupid copyright restrictions won't let me listen.
awesome. nothing but good from here on out. and I share lisa's sentiments.
Now that, as my young friends would say, is total love and win. To have your heart's desire for Christmas is a wonderful thing!
p/s - being outside the US, I'm not allowed to view your Billy Joel favorite song on YouTube. *sigh*
Have a lovely time with your special girl, Chez. Good night, and good weekend!
Great photo Chez. Have a very happy Christmas with Inara.
@ Spencer: On YouTube, and here's the cut-and-paste: Billy Joel - She's Right On Time
Have a great time with her, Chez. She gets more gorgeous in each photo.
I had no idea Black Box did a cover version of that song.

Have a wonderful time with Inara.
She's gonna be the most beautiful snow bird in Florida!
2 months! I'm very happy for you both.
Your girl is gorgeous. Absolutly adorable. Sometimes I read what you write and I'm all, "Hell yes!" or "What is this mess?" and it's easy to think about opinions and facts and boil people down to such things.
But it's not easy when you see something like this. I honestly think it's one of the main reasons I choose to read what you write rather than the other 1.5 million bloggers out there. You come across as a complete human being.
What a lovely child you've created. And how proud you must be. Have a great Christmas with your girl.
love the song, and love your winter plans.
