CONNECTING THE DOTS


A few years ago I met my daughter. For those of you who are new here, I said goodbye to her when I was 16. I was faced with a tough decision, and I chose life for her. Allie grew up in Southern California, the daughter of two awesome parents. Well, fast forward a couple of decades, and Allie Senterfitt stepped off a plane in little Medford Oregon to meet me; her birth mom. It was so strange and wonderful to look into the face of someone else and see bits and pieces myself. And that goodbye I said to her so many years ago was suddenly answered with a hello that somehow made everything okay. Today we laughed and chatted on Skype. We were laughing because we were drinking from the exact same coffee cup. 2000 miles away (she's in Haiti) and we pick the same coffee cup from the cupboard. My heart is full. And I am so grateful. Happy 24th Birthday, little one. I can't believe I'm that old. ;)
