November 5th -
is Michael's GOT-CHA day!
That is.......the day we "Got him"
It is the day I became a mother,
thirteen years ago
I love that his GOT-CHA day falls near Orphan Sunday.
But I don't tell you that so you can think about how his life is different
and better
and how "lucky" he is that he was adopted
What I want you to think about
is how MY life is different
and better
and how "LUCKY" I am
to have such a wonderful boy to call my son
His life is certainly better and very different than it would have been in Haiti
But he has no concept of that
I can, however, try to imagine my life without him.......
and it's an overwhelming thought that brings me to tears
Please consider making a difference in the life of an orphan,
not JUST because it will change their life
but because it will change YOURS
I love you Michael!
We are all richer for Michael's GOT-CHA!
