Support Systems....

Mama and I went to north Alabama this past weekend to visit your grandparents and your great grandmother. One day last week I called your grandmother and told her you were coming. I see how she is with your sister and I feel like I know when she lays her eyes on you that she will instantly be in love with you as I am already. It's sad for her that she wishes you were coming from my tummy and mama and I wanted that too for different reasons, but most of all we wanted/want you to be healthy. We wanted to get you here before our window of opportunity closed forever. Our family is complicated. That's something you can expect us to be talking about for a very long time to come my child. You won't be the only person you know with a family like ours, but there is a good chance you won't know many. Being different isn't bad, but it is...well...different...and that can evoke some pretty strong feelings in some people. If you can love and you are loved (and you are) there is nothing you won't overcome.
