Welcome

Wow, isn't it interesting where life can take us. We may cross paths with people and wonder why, we met at that time. When you you start talking or reading about that person, something will usually jump out and touch your heart. We often are to fast to push it aside and not reflect on why. Thanks for crossing my path today. I hope that if anything else, I will make you laugh, or cry, or even wonder why, we were led down this path today.

I met a lady today that has touched my life. She has done the most unselfish thing any mother could ever do. What a lot of people do not see is what she has done is given a little girl the life that she has always dreamed of her to have. Sometimes that choice does not allow you to be the one that gets to snuggle her in at night, or wash the dirty face just right. You may not even get to hear her cry. What is does let you do, is remember the time you had one on one, and remember the smell on her checks when you held her so tight. People can tell you how they feel, people can tell you how you will fail. What they can not tell you is how you will sail.

You will hold your head high even when they tear you down. You will hold your head high when a tear gets in your eye. Tears will come and tears will go, you will never be able to control the flow. Don't let anyone get you down, because until they take that one small stroll, they will never know.

Adoption is such a bitter sweet experience that everyone can cast their vote on. Some will agree and others will fight it in all degrees. It is the ones that do not have the knowledge that seem to find the defeat. It does not take long to ask a few questions. It does not take long to get you in the right direction. It does take long for you to battle, when you are swimming uphill with no paddle. You can never ask to many questions. You can never feel ashamed, or pass any judgement. So I will tell you again, and don't ask why. Hold your head high, even when you laugh or cry.
