In the Name of the Father

Today I felt overtaken by sadness. I was reading about the struggles of a family that I am so proud to know, the Riggs. Michelle was SUCH a comfort to me during my wait for Rhys, Waverly, and Riley. I was struck by how wonderful she was then. I just instantly loved her.

I related to her little ones because we shared the common beautiful thread of Guatemala. When Abby got sick, I knew instantly how she felt because of the many overwhelmingly frightening moments I have had with Braeden and his medical issues. Now I just feel so scared for them. I found myself crying when I hugged my Brae and then again as my little ones sang "Twinkle, Twinkle" in car on the way to get Halloween decorations.

I know many can't understand how we can impact eachother's lives so completely by our bonds of adoption, but I feel the need to say thank you. To Michelle. To Toni, Kevin, Kristen, Sandra, Amy and Matt, Candy, Shay, Mike and Michelle, Julie B, Jodi, Traci, Jen, Heather, and everyone else who has taken the journey and crossed paths with me on mine. I am thankful that I know you.
