Keeping in touch

I have been keeping in touch with Rachel's birthmother since the adoption over 3 years ago. It is an interesting friendship that most people don't understand but that's okay, they don't have too. I feel like she is more than a friend...more like family yet I am kind of glad she lives so far away. It's its own little oxymoron of sorts.

Anyway, recently she shared some very personal info about her marital problems that I found very disturbing and upsetting. I want to help so much and called her bishop to ask if he would get involved too. She was upset at first yet within the same day she forgave me. She is so amazing. I pray her situation improves and she receives the guidance and assistance needed to get her through these trials.

I don't feel like writing much about it all...just had to write something down somewhere.

For anyone reading this...you may not know her or her name but please include her in your prayers. Thank you.

The Olympics

I get so sentimental during the Olympics. My grandmother, whom we called Nonna (it's Italian), loved watching Olympic events. She would be glued to her television during that time. If we wanted to spend any time with her during the Olympic season we would have to plunk ourselves down beside her and watch it too. I miss her so much yet all the more during the Olympics. *sigh*
