I've had the most incredible week and was so overwhelmed that I couldn't concentrate on anything else. God works in wonderful ways, and saw fit to make a dream come true. I gave up a child for adoption over 30 years ago and last week he contacted me. It was amazing. I met my son on Friday after talking to him for the first time last Monday night, then I couldn't wait to meet him so I flew up to Queensland for the weekend.
Remember...
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
There were lots of feelings that I couldn't begin to name, but mostly it was all good. The guilt and regret I've felt all these years can now take a backseat to the relief and joy I'm feeling now. Though there's still plenty of the former, I have to think that now all the hurt and pain can be put behind us and there's a future to look forward to. I hope I'm around for a long time so I can catch up on all the lost time.
He's a man to feel proud of too and I haven't stopped talking about him to family and friends. The family is rapt and everyone wants to meet him. He met his grandfather, and a great aunt and uncle yesterday, but there's lots still to meet. We have a large family and he's a very special part of it.
I'm well aware too, that he'll be reading these posts from now on (hello Anthony...) and it makes it all the more personal for me. We have lots of ways to communicate and the computer is a wonderful part of that. I'll have to look in to getting a web cam.
