Ramblings...

I am horrible at coming up with titles for my posts, the end. But rambling is what I usually, so I am going with that. Years down the road I will wonder why I called every 4th post some variation of the word!
Anyway, 1st I want to say WE GOT MORE PICTURES!!! And they are from his foster home, and he is smiling, yes smiling in several. In fact in one he is making the "cheese face." In another he is riding in one of those L*ittle Tikes cars, a police car to be exact. Those that know us might know that we have the exact same one, so that made me happy. Something familiar for him when he gets home! He also has his photo album GG made him and he is sitting or laying intently checking us out! Yay! Speaking of coming home, time seems to finally be moving now, and spring doesn't seem nearly as far away.

In other news, we are preparing for the loss of a loved one. One of S's family members is nearing the end of a hard fight with cancer. Mortality is hard. We are sad but hope to maintain the memories of her contribution to the amazing man my husband is present in our lives. It is leading to some hard conversations at our house, ones I wish we never had to have. I saw something today that is really resonating in my mind: "love the people God gave you, because He will need them back one day."

One last ramble, something important to all people, whether we realize it or not. I have a dear, amazing friend, I will call her "Fluffy". She is amazingly talented, smart, hilarious and thought provoking. She has a blog (sort of several) and I think everyone should check it out. http://dayeseye.typepad.com/make_change/. Check it out, think about the change you can make in the world around you. I have made change for people, I didn't always realize it or even mean to in the moment, but I have. And I feel amazing. And you know what? It wasn't even that hard. Doing what felt right in my heart in that moment made a difference.
So to you "Fluffy" you have made change in my life, as simple as fixing this blog, to lending a sympathetic ear. So, thank you.

Love those dear to you, make change in the lives around you & enjoy life.
