Auntie

After all of these year's I finally have an Auntie that I can say is good for me and my children. She is the guidance that I needed when I needed it the most...she was not able to be there for me way back when but at least she will be now...

No matter what anyone thinks we do need our family more than ever as we get older and have children. It seems as though the adoptees will struggle with this. I have read so many stories of reunion and unfortunately it's not the kind of reunion that a normal person has when they see their great aunt that they haven't seen since last Christmas.

It will never be the kind of connection that one can have with a maternal Aunt but it's the next best thing. It's what I have available and I will take it with more gratitude than most will ever understand. I'm finally not completely alone in this make believe world that we were forced to live in...it's no longer a fantasy that we wonder if will ever come true no matter how much we hope and pray.
