First visit

Well Samuel and I have arrived back from our first visit with Desta and Faith Thompson. We met up halfway in Anderson, SC for the weekend. It was great having the kids back together for the short amount of time that they spent together. We were able to take them to a park and play and then feed some ducks.

I can't believe how much they love each other. It had been a little over a month since they had seen one another. They were still happy to see each other. It was a great weekend.

I am not sure, but Yoseph is now being called Samuel. He has learned sign language at my baby sitter's place. He knows how to say please, more, all done and thank you with signs. He is such a smart boy. He is also pretty active. Looking forward to seeing what God is going to do with his life.

I booked a ticket to fly home to see my family on March 12-19 next month. Really looking forward to my family seeing him and getting to know his sweet little personality.

Tomorrow marks a big day in society that shows one just how much we love them. For me it also holds a serious marking in my life. Eight years ago on the 14th I learned that I was cancer-free. This was the best Valentine's Day yet in 2003. I am forever grateful to God for healing my body and allowing me this opportunity to raise a young man.

Many things to be grateful for. Love what you do and do what you love! God is perfect!
