"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
such sweet words full of Truth. i'm sure these words will bring great comfort to her.

Oh goodness how I needed this tonight. I was just telling my husband the past two nights I've been so attacked with fear. The little girl who was kidnapped and murdered and the town we just moved from has made me feel so heavy. And every night I try to sleep and am filled with fear.
ReplyDeleteThis was just what I needed to read tonight before laying down to sleep.
