Tuesday

I woke up this morning at 6 and couln'dt get back to sleep. I got up and checked my email. I had new mail from overnight, what a way to wak up to a new day! Mail from her, from our son and from his wife. Wow! I have seen pictures, we have swapped more mail. I had to take a day of for some brain time. I needed to allow this all to digest. Allow the dust to settle. I sent a couple of emails to her today, I got one short response saying that she was just to emotional to write, she just didn't feel like it. Phone time! I called her, she sounded so down. We talked for about 45 minutes or so, maybe longer. I got her to laugh, we talked about Red and Green M&Ms. It was a personal thing for us, so many years ago, long before the bags came out at Christmas with just the red and green. She had to buy so many bags of those things just to get a jar of red and green....I still don't know what she did with all of the rest of them. I hope she didn't save them, they probably aren't very good by now. Our son and his wife seem to be very internet savvy. They sent me a list of 5 web sites that they each had. 10 sites total. I guess I know what I will be doing tomorrow. I want to learn more, see more. I want to get to know them and let them get to know my wife and I. I am jealous that she has been able to spend time with them already. I can be so selfish sometimes! I might be jealous of it, but I am so happy for them all. Questions have been answered, though I as sure there are many more. This is just the beginning, I hope it never ends.

My other children want to get to know our son. They are excited and lke the idea of having a big brother. They have known about him for probably 8 years or so. My daughter called tonight wanting more nformation. She can be very outgoing and she can be very onery in a good sort of way. I expect that she will enjoy all of this immensly.

It's late, it's time for me to hit the bed, I have an early morning. Good night.
