there is a woman who received a blessing from god
she had been feeling down and out and when she looked
into her morning coffee she saw very very dark clouds
then one day one bright beautiful sunshiny day
the good lord in a sign of his benevolence compassion
and eternal love for her allowed the following
Dear Loved Ones,
You have all known me a long time and are dear to my heart,
and are aware that I gave up my daughter for adoption 16 years
ago. Many of you have provided shoulders that got very soggy
while you offered me loving support during my grieving, which,
has pretty much been on-going all these years.
On Nov. 19th of this year, her 16th birthday, a typically very
sad and introspective day for me, I decided to look for her
on facebook - and found her. I sent a brief message, letting
her know who I was and how to contact me. I also let her know
if she chose not to communicate, I would respect that, and not
disturb her further. Well, weeks went by and I sadly surmised
she preferred to carry on and not look back. Wrong!
I received a wonderful email from her yesterday and she is
completely happy and totally excited to get to know me!
She gave me access to her facebook, where I was able to look
at pics of her and catch up with all the amazing things she
has managed to squeeze into her short time on earth. She is
a cycling devotee and competes nationally. She is a very
fearless (yes, that is a pic of her catching air on a quad!),
strong and spirited young woman and I am bursting with pride!
She has her mom's freckles and taste for adventure,
we know that much for sure!
I am letting her direct the pace, but hope a trip to meet her
will be in the cards soon.
I don't know what alignment of the planets orchestrated my
reunion with both an old friend who is now my husband and
my daughter within months of each other.....but this has been,
without doubt, the most incredible year of my life. To have
the the two people in life I had most grieved the loss of,
suddenly come back to me, has been simply overwhelming. Just
when I thought I couldn't possibly be any happier! Unbelievable.
Thank you God.
Hope this finds you well and happy. Sending you LOVE ( :
