March 28 Reflections on My Family ReunionTo Mom, Wayne, Cathy, Betty, and Rick,
It's hard to believe that it has been three years ago today since we met face to face...
... The email
... The call
... The emotion
... The anticipation and excitement
... The wondering
... Those long unanswered how and why questions
... Who are these people? (undoubtedly echoed on each side of the door)
... What to expect?
... Such uncharted territory
... Who will go first?
... "They are here ... THEY ARE HERE! ... THEY ARE REALLY HERE!"
... Standing at the door with my family huddled around
... watching for that first glimpse
... That yellow ribbon on the old olk tree
... The welcome sign
... The open door
... that long, locked in gaze into my mothers eyes
... WOW are they ever BLUE!
... Hugging
... Laughing
... Tears of joy
... A heart so bursting with excitement
... I had no idea it would be so wonderful!
... A handshake
... A hug
... A choked up moment
... that now familiar locked in gaze
... WOW are they ever blue!
... A brother (finally, a brother!)
... Not just any brother ... but MY Brother!
... More hugging, laughter and joy
... More basking in one anothers presence
... More sisters
... Not just any sisters ... but MY sisters!
... and WOW are their eyes ever blue!
... and another brother ... yet to meet
... a moment in time like no other
... there has never been a moment like this one
... nor will there ever be
... We experiencedthat moment together
... It was truly OUR momment!
... Our moments turned to hours
... Days
... Weeks
... Months
... and now (3) Years
... We have had many moments since that day
... I continue to marvel
... to be amazed
... Forever grateful
... That God has given us
... such a precious gift
... and I cherish every one of our moments together
... and selfishly look forward to every moment
... every year
... every opportunity
... and every chance I get
... to say "Thank YOU for being my mother... my sister ... my brother"
... I love you!
... David
