Easter

My grandfather's funeral was harder for me than my dad’s funeral. I think it was still too fresh in my mind and I re-lived the whole thing again. I was actually crying for him to come back. It was really weird because I was more hurt and sad the week of my grandfathers funeral. I think I am now realizing that my daddy was not coming back. I must of said that already but it doesn’t seem to get any easier. I just have to believe that he is with me every day and that he is helping me become a stronger person. He will be with us every second of the adoption journey. He will make this be a positive and joyful event.


April 7th, 2009 – Week of Easter. Today for the first time, I could hear the ocean waves splashing on the cap. This means that summer is just around the corner. This is probably the most joyful time of the year for me. I can go outside with the dogs longer at night. By the time we get in, we are all tired. Easter weekend we were able to go for a walk on the beach with the dogs. I could just imagine us next year at this time with our daughter running as well.





While I am running outside and playing with the dogs, my wonderful husband is working hard to finish the upstairs of our house. We want to make sure that everything is ready when we get the call… This week, it will be 2 months that our dossier is in Ghana. Last time I spoke with our adoption agency, she said it could be between 2 to 6 months wait for a referral. So this is it. It could be anytime. I actually bumped into the SW that did our home study over the weekend at the grocery store. She told me that she was the one that would be contacting us for our referral. She said the process just changed and she is the one responsible for our region.






Here are some pictures of our daughter’s room so far. These are some toys that my mom had bought for Christmas and the Easter bunny I got her. I even went to get all my old Walt Disney books that I had while I was growing up.
