ReplyDeleteI know for sure TWO people read the words I write down. Thanks for being one of them.
ReplyDeleteIt sometimes surprises me how often our story is also someone else's, at least in many ways. For that reason alone, our words will always matter.
ReplyDeleteAnd where are you in this photo?
ReplyDeleteWords do matter... which why in some cases we need to be careful what we say :-), but in this case as in all the LTYM writers/performers, you all did a wonderful job and all I can say is WOW (oh wait, that's the place where you wrote a piece... two WOWs in one).
ReplyDeleteI know they matter, but sometimes you never know which ones will matter, and it's usually a lovely surprise when you find that someone was moved or inspired by your words. I know I was just moved by this story, so thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful surprise to see your post on FB and see a fellow adoptee and the wonderful experience you had talking to others as a result of being in LTYM. I was a part of the OKC LTYM this year and it was a powerful experience as well. It is not easy sharing our stories of adoption, and it is so nice to meet you.
