Today is my 39th birthday. I have never been one to really celebrate birthdays, but my hubby is taking me out to dinner ALONE for my birthday and I am EXCITED about it. I very rarely get excited about events, so it is a big deal. Now, on to what I want to say. I woke up this morning and the first thought in my head was "You are 39 years old...what are you thinking trying to adopt again?" I felt so old and so blah this morning....thinking I really did not have enough energy to take on another "baby". Caden is 3 but very much like a little baby (and I love it!). Cole is 5 but like having a tall toddler! Satan was really doing a number on me this morning. Then I turned on the computer, went straight to Natalie's blog (blogging4theleastofthese.blogspot.com) and there he was....my boy in an Arkansas hoodie rolling his little car and beating on his drum and all that doubt instantly faded! I can not tell you what it means to me to have this young woman over there with him. When I was adopting Cole and Caden, I had a couple of older pictures and that was it. I had no idea if they were even alive at the time of travel to meet them. It is so comforting to know that he is ok. With all the stuff going on in UA right now (not issuing travel dates) I would be INSANE without Natalie over there with him. I love her heart and I love what she is doing. Please stop by her blog and support her. I cannot imagine having that much courage to do what she is doing at her age.
Check my boy out in his hoodie!
Janie,
ReplyDeleteYou would be my first nasty comment on my blog, so congratulations! I will warn you that I am not as kind as most and I won't end this with a "I will pray for you". I do, however, feel sorry for you that your life is so sad and pitiful that you felt the need to take time from your day to stalk my blog to add your comment, BUT how dare you talk about this child like that? He is beautiful and your inability to see that shows exactly what kind of person you are, so please GO AWAY and live your miserable existence somewhere else!
