What a busy week this has been...and it's only Tuesday! The last few weeks have been very emotional not only have we been dealing with all the emotions of our adoption process issues but also the sadness of seeing my uncle lose his battle to cancer. He put up quite a fight.....the man was working outside in the lawn care industry up until the very end. Chemo, radiation....it didn't matter he was still out there! We joke that we Puerto Ricans don't play......especially my uncle's and my father's generation....
This past weekend when my sister and I were visiting him at Hospice and alone with him, we were talking that our family needed some "happy news". I was sitting at his bed side and asked him, "If he could do me a favor and ask God to hurry up on our adoption process."
He passed away Sunday night before 7pm, that night at 1am I get a call from Jim that he was at CWA's Ethiopia office filling out the balance of our paperwork because the Embassy had assigned our date and that I needed to be there this Thursday. At 10am, I got the call from CWA US office with the same information and by noon I had my plane reservations.
I'm convinced my Uncle Norby had something to do with this......Gracias Tio Norby! We love you and will miss you! Rest In Peace......
WHAT!?!?! Are you leaving TODAY!?!?! Sooooo happy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so sorry for your uncle's passing. He'd be so happy that Jayson and Jordan are finally coming HOME.
So Sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle...I am not one to question the ways of our mysterious universe...however I am so happy for you and Jim and that you are both with your sons and will be home soon.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and can't wait to hear how the trip home went and how the boys are doing.
