A life goal
“The true measure of a life is not how many people know our names when we die… but whether we touch the lives of others.”
Control (The Outer Limits)
Our pianist at church today, acknowledged his mom who is eighty. He went on to thank her for the lessons and for just being there. He closed by reminding us we should all tell our parents how much they mean to us in person while we still can.
This really touched me inside and I thought to myself that I really want to do this with my birthmom and birthdad. I want to tell them, thank you for my life.
When I first started this search all I wanted was medical information (yeah, I know that’s bogus, but there you go.) As I continued, I decided I want to know my history, my past. Now I realise, it’s deeper than that, I want to meet these two people face to face, tell them thank you as I look them in their eyes and then introduce them to my son. After that, I will probably only want a kleenex, or maybe two.
So that’s my goal, to reach out and touch the lives of the two people who gave me life.
Hi Wraith,
Hope you can find them too…or maybe they will find you.
As a reunited first mother, I can’t tell you how much it means to me to regulrly look into my son’s eyes!!!! (and my grandaughters too)
One of the best days of my life was receiving a phone call from my beloved son. Twenty six years of seperation was finally ended.
God Bless you on your journey.
Thank you, me too. And congratulations on reuniting.
