Red Thread Connections...

Just a reflection on the red thread that connects us to our daughter. Last year on Mother's Day David gave me a silver pendent which had Mother Daughter in Chinese characters engraved on mother-of-pearl on the front and then on the back silver tag it had it in English. Back then, we still thought we would be getting our referral in the summer or perhaps by the Fall of 2006 so David was sure our daughter was born and that I was already a mother to her but she just was not with us yet. I have been wearing this necklace all this past year. Last year Mother's Day in the U.S. was May 14, 2006 - that would have already been May 15, 2006 in China - the day that she was born! There truly is a red thread connecting us. Also, I don't think we have mentioned this yet but the English translation of her growth report said that she loves to look at pictures, especially of animals and that she loves to see animals on t.v. - she is definitely our daughter.
