I am so anxious to meet my new Great Grandson. His pictures are so precious. Your mom told us a lot about how sweet he is and made me even more anxious to get to hold him. I am slowly doing better. I have so many e-mails, I am slowly getting through them. I am always anxious to read your writing, you do such an outstanding job. Love to all of you, Mema That was beautiful.

About a month ago, I gave the message at our church's laity Sunday service. I was asked to talk about our adoption journey. It was a huge, emotional challenge trying to distill down our story. I was excited and terrified at the same time. The lyrics from Hillsong United's "I Will Never Be The Same Again" are running through my head... I will never be the same again, I can never return, I've closed the door. I will walk the path, I'll run the race And I will never be the same again. Blessings to you guys! Hope to see you soon. Wonderful story and, as always, beautifully written.

The lyrics from Hillsong United’s “I Will Never Be The Same Again” are running through my head…

I will never be the same again,
I can never return, I’ve closed the door.
I will walk the path, I’ll run the race
And I will never be the same again.

Blessings to you guys! Hope to see you soon.

I guess that just goes to show me that even someone who I thought had it all together can have doubts just like I do! We were anxious about it, but now we are so in love with our new grandson! We just can't wait to see him and our sweet Caleb! God has blessed you with the gift of writing and I am so glad you are using it to glorify Him!! I love you!

Your new addition was a bright spot to my day! I know that CBS was blessed to have heard you share ya'lls story this week...what an amazing story it is and I can't wait to see what God has in store for ya'll next! Thank you both for being open to his calling - it's neat to see the domino effect it is having on those around you. What a blessing it was to visit with you, Caleb and Josiah today!
