Dear son,
I have been very fortunate to have many visits with my grandmother over the past couple of years. Everytime we met, she asked about the adoption and was so excited about you joining the family. I was excited for her to become a GREAT Grandmother and finally get to meet you this Fall. That's why it broke my heart when she passed away last week. I flew to Texas for the funeral this weekend. There, at the cemetary, lie the gravestones of my mother, brother, grandfather and grandmother. I know they are in a better place and surley working to open a clear path for you and me to find each other. You are my "happy thought" that keeps me going and knowing that life is a gift. I can't wait to share it with you. Hang in there, I'm on my way!!
Love,
Dad
