What I want / What I get

I've been feeling a little desperate today.

I want good Mother's Day news.

I want Sunday to feel like a celebration because I have received a tangible end to my childlessness.

I really really want something to connect me to the why.

Today, we received our first letter from Andrey. We have been writing to him for three months. He's happy to recieve our letters. He told me when they celebrated Easter. He wants us to send pictures of Max the dog. He thanks us for our prayers and wishes.

I wish I could eloquently describe the overwhelming joy that his 5 line letter brought me today.

A motherless child connects with a childless mother - God's timing is perfect, isn't it?

Do this - it just may be one of the most rewarding $34/month you will ever spend.

I'm glad you received a letter from Andrey this week.
And I want to wish you a very Happy Mother's Day! I know you wish it had been different and I'm praying that you find some comfort today knowing that you will have Nicholas home someday soon.
