To all -- thanks for the hellp and Merry Christmas!!

I've asked for help several times in the last year -- mostly
concerning Xboxes-- and prompt, patient help has always been there --
good, pragmatic advice.

This will be a good Christmas for us -- likely the best my wife and I
have ever had. We adopted a 12 year old boy this year ... this will
be our first Christmas with him. This season, we've been working on
building relationships with his extended birth family -- grandma,
uncles, aunts, cousins. It's been a little nerve-wracking but it is
working -- everyone seems commited to what is best for him ...and, oh
my lord, it is so wonderful to see. Tonight, one of his uncles
remarked "I've never seen him so happy, so confident."

I told him Louise and I have never been happier -- or so confident of
who we are and what we do. It's nice that the kid is getting
something out of it too....

I enjoy this group a lot ... and I hope you all will have a happy
holiday season...

 

damn that's a good story! thanks for telling, and happy christmas to you
and the boy!

 

It's a good story.
