Tear jerker

Today was a hard day in some ways and a great day in other ways. Dionne and I took Lee to the aquarium in New Orleans for his birthday. Usually I take Lee to church to light a candle for his birthmother, but we left too early. Instead we made a wish for her in the fountains. Lee was so sweet, he closed his hands like he was praying and closed his eyes really tight. He said "I hope you aren't sad because we love you and we want you to feel better". It was so sweet to hear him be so sincere. I was telling Dionne how heavy my heart is today because I kept wondering how she was feeling today. She was never far from my mind.

Anyway, I hope I don't offend anyone but I wanted to share this touching song. Terry and I listened to it together and it brought a lot of old feelings back before we chose to create a family through the miracle of adoption.

I loved Lee's gesture. I only hope that Ethan will be as understanding and sweet as Lee. I too have thought about how I will feel on Ethan's birthday.
