I Can Breathe…

Wow, what a day it’s been, I can honestly this is one of the biggest things I’ve done lately.
I went to the wrong apartment first…..so I had to call him and find out which apartment to go to!
He saw Austin first and said “Hi Austin! Come on it!” So he did, and I followed and we hugged and said our “Hi! How are you?” and then we both gasped a sigh of relief.
We looked at some pictures from when he was growing up and of my uncles and grandma and I showed him the book and he told me how much I look like my mom.
He apologized for not contacting me over the years but he’s so thankful and happy that I finally made the decision to contact him.
Oh…and he has blue eyes…which I knew, but you didn’t. =]
It was an excellent day and I’m so happy you guys, I can’t even describe the feeling!

Here we are, face to face. A couple of silver spoons…
*shakes head to bring self back to reality*
Sorry about the 80s flashback. It’s just the first thing that popped in to my head when I saw ‘Here we are’.
Is it strange if I say he doesn’t look like a Kevin?
I hope this is just the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Thanks for sharing, hon

haha, silly goose!
I know what you mean about names not suiting people, but in this instance I don’t feel “it” either way….so I can’t say. I do understand what you mean though!
Thanks for the kind words!

Wow, the eyes are practically identical!
I’m so happy for you, I really am. Congratulations for developing the courage to make the first contact. That was a big step. Bravo!
When are you going to invite him over to meet the rest of the gang?

Well I’ll either invite him over here or maybe we’ll go to lunch or something, I’m not too sure. I’m just excited right now and can’t really get past the initial shock of actually MEETING him! lol

I would if you wanted me to. You should do it, it’ll make you feel better either way.
Thanks for being happy for me darlin! I appreciate it!

I wish. I can’t. All I know is that she may or may not still live in Fredicksburg, VA and that her name is Margaret McDaniels. I have found NOTHING on her. And I AM the google queen. I’ve joined every adoption reunion board in the world. Nothing. I finally decided she’s either dead or has no interest in me. That happens. It’s not always a happy ending, ya know?

True….Maybe she got married though and changed her name…
