See Ya Yesterday...One Tomorrow at a Time...

FAMILY IS....

This may seem like a strange picture to post.
It's along the driveway of my cousin's house and I took the picture so when I got back home I can be reminded that there really is somewhere not infested with DANG GRASSHOPPERS!!
I know, that was a long sentence..

Ok, now to post what I want to share.........


another life story. I'll try to keep it short (yeah, right).

My Mother was raised in an Orphanage. And without going into all of it now, needless to say, she didn't know much of her family. That's for another post anyway....

But she and her sister kept in contact with an Uncle, a brother to their mom. I remember meeting him and his family once at my Aunts house when I was a kid. And his name was mentioned quite a lot in their conversations.

So fast forward years later. I'm home one night and the phone rings. A female voice asks me if I'm who I am and I ask why. Now this was in the good old Telecommunication times when they just bugged the hell out of everyone! So I was a little annoyed. She then tells me her name and I proceed to tell her I'm not interested in whatever she's selling. There's a little hesitation before I start to hang up, then she says maybe she should start over and explain who she is and why she's calling. Then she says the last name of my mothers family and all I could do was start to tear up. How awesome that someone has searched enough to find me!

So after quite a long conversation then, and many more to come, we finally meet for lunch. She only lives about 60 miles from me. We've met for lunch, talked on the phone and even shared some family history since then. It's only been about 6 short years since I first heard from Diana and what a blessing in my life she has been. And how ironic that she is the Grand Daughter of the Uncle my mom and aunt knew. So that actually makes our mothers first cousins and we're whatever comes next...

Another special thing I want to share about Diana. Her and Jack have wanted a family. But after too many heartaches and 3 top notch doctors, they were told she could never carry a child full term. So Diana, being a strong woman, excepted their findings and said she'd think about other options......

Diana called and told me she was going to have a baby but was holding her breath before she got too excited. I knew she'd been there before and well, too many heartaches later here she was again. Well, 3 years ago next month, she gave birth to their very special little angel , Little Miss G. What a Sweetheart she is and what very thankful and loving parents God sent her to. You can see a few pictures of her on my other blog.

Just remember, when you make plans God sometimes giggles....

Hope that was short enough. (o:

Till another day...
