Adoption Reunion — The Chronicles Continue

My story continues to un-fold with fascinating twists, turns and information.

  My birth mother is so darn cute.  She asked me last night if she could give my phone number to Brother Willis and sister Elizbeth.

  This morning Dorthy called me to let me know she wasn’t going to keep me on the phone as brother Willis would surly be calling me in the next few minutes.

  About 15 minutes passed.  It turns out Willis prefers to be called Charlie. He is now 64 years old living in Dalton, Ga.  Has been married for 40 + Years and has a few children and grand children of his own.  He loves to play guitar and has never learned to read or write. 

  He actually held me when I was an infant and couldn’t do anything to prevent me being taken from my mother.  Of course, I already had figured out this information.  He was only 17 when this took place.

  I am still in a dream like state with all the information I am receiving.  I asked my precious husband, Mike if there was medication for over pinched cheeks! He just laughed and gave me a great warm hug.

  Charlie has worked most of his life laying carpets, working on automobiles and driving trucks.  His last few words to “be good and go to Church”.  He hopes that while I am visiting Dorthy we can meet again and visit as well.  I hope for the same thing.  Mike and I will have a rental car when we meet her.

  Yes dates and times/reservations have been made, but for obvious reasons I won’t post it to the blog.  I’ve bought a second battery for my camera and extra AA batteries for Mike’s camera.  My dear friend Kris asked me if I was going to be able to tote that large box of tissue I’d be needing.  I love her!

  I hope you guys will continue to read my blog daily.  I have some crafty projects finished and will post pictures soon.

  Trust in the Lord, be brave, let today be your beginning.

With love and best wishes,
