Wow!

Wow, what a day! What an incredible day! The weekend was hard, but it was the right thing to do. We need to take some time off, we need that down time to let emotions and feelings heal and develop. We did survive the weekend, we didn't break our own rules, I was not about to disappooint again!

This last 2 1/2 weeks has been one incredible ride!

I received an email this evening. I had been mowing the lawn and decided I needed to check my email. I saw one from her pop up, I read it and as I went back to the message headers, there it was. I have been hoping, waiting for this day. I have thought of the possibilities of this day for so long. Here it is. How sweet can it get?

He is well, he sounds happy and he wants to get to know me and my family, which he is welcome to become a part of. I hope he does in some way. I hope we can get to know one another.

My wife was with me as we read the email, we shed tears of joy together. I called her and let he know that he had made contact, she knew that already, some surprise I had for her! What a day! The emotions are so incredibly sweet. I called my mother, she knew from the beginning, has always known of a grandson somewhere, has always wondered. She said she knew that this would happen. She is excited and happy. I told my sister, the one mom lives with. I guess I had told her some time ago about what had happened, she mentioned it to my daughter about 3 years ago and has wondered, we now need to wonder no more.

There is so much I want to know, so much I want to say. I'm not sure that I can adequately express my feelings, I h ope that I can, I hope he can understand, I hope I can. This is one high that I hope I never come down from.
