Looking back to June 2006 seems long ago.
My blog is 2 years old. All of my information on adoption is antiquated. All of my friends are home with their children. Proudly I can report eveyone is...happily ever after.
Two tears later I can say I have met some special women, incredible children, and made some of the best friends in my life. Even though I may forget to email, send birthday cards, and call as frequently as we all did B.C. (before children) I think of all of you often. Here is a quick one but LAURA, MELISSA, SUSAN, LISA, KATE, and my non blogger friends who followed KATE (USA), HEIDI, KAREN, Aunt ANDREA, & Aunt JOJO. I send the biggest hugs to all of you. No matter where I am you are always close in thought.
Me: As I expected my life would evolve. Now I know when I woke in April 2006 to find my daughter I was right. She would be waiting for me. Patience prevailed as I was waiting for her.
Finally I have realized there is an end to every chapter in our lives. The end of my blog has dragged a bit as I could not find an ending. The end of our journey and the beginning of the rest of our lives meshed in my brain. Some leave their hearts in San Fran but I added a piece of Russia to mine. Moving forward from this blog was suppose to happen with the creation of Life with Cupcake. Now I know it is time as I feel like a stranger typing in this space.
Cupcake is as healthy, happy, funny, curious, & opinionated as usual. Now she is more inquisitive, vocal, and demanding. Her affectionate and infectious personality keeps me smiling every moment of every day. She continues to teach me the importance of life.
Here I sit wishing upon a star that for every horror story read about EE adoption ten stories will be found like my journey to Cupcake.
Two years later, two long trips to Russia, a handful of real girlfriends, an agency who was never a beat short of perfect unless I didn't get my way (Thanks Ruthie-Alliance For Children, MA), A PERFECT MOTHER who I don't even know how I breathe without her by my side, an equally perfect Grandmother, Aunt Reesy you are a REAL sister!, and the yummiest Cupcake in the whole world. I thanking you so much for being a part of our lives everyday.
Life of Cupcake will continue but NO EXPECTATIONS!!!
To all of the bloggers.keep it going!
