"Operation Save Mary Fika"

A "friend" of mine's daughter was recently "abducted" and taken to a camp far away in the mountains by her ex-husband. This girl's father told her he was taking her to the NC Mountains for a week of father-daughter time. He lied. Typical for him.

The reality was that he took her to the camp, dropped her off with strangers, gave her a speech about her "attitude" determining the kind of week she'd have and then, he was gone. She was quite confused. He left, never telling her the truth that he would not be spending the week with her. She found that out from a camp counselor when she inquired as to where he was. She said, "Oh, your Dad left. He was never intending on staying. He said he was bringing you. He asked us to take your cell phone away, but as long as you won't use it, we'll let you keep it." How nice.

Immediately, she wanted to call her mother. She had to sneak away because she couldn't get caught using it! Since the cell reception was almost non-existent, this proved to be very difficult, but she finally found a spot and got through. Her text messages read like this, "Please come and get me out of here! My dad's not even with me!" This went on until 5am!

The mother wouldn't be able to get to her for two days. This was excruciating for both mother and daughter, but finally, "Operation Save Mary Fika" was underway! Now, she's home with Mom. All is well. And Dad still doesn't know.

When our babies need us, no mountain's big enough to stop us from getting there! Don't mess with Mommies!
