Anonymous Gifts
There are no accidents. God’s just trying to remain anonymous.
Brett Butler’s unnamed friend
A funny thing happened right after I wrote that last post. I went to work, had a blah day, then came home to another envelope from the agency. Inside was a note stating they had closed my file and asked me to fill out a questionnaire on their services. Riiiggghhhhhttttt. I would be glad to share my feelings with you.
However, you have heard the saying about God closing a door and opening a window? Well, he closed the door on this agency and opened the french doors for me. I accidently came across her name. I don’t know if it’s her maiden or married name and there is a chance it’s not really her name but more than likely, considering the context, it is one or the other. I and a host of others have been trying to match something up with this name and so far no go but we haven’t given up yet.
Too have a name though. When I found it on Thursday, an hour before leaving work for the funeral, I was in shock, tears, and grinning like a fool.
Friday, I couldn’t concentrate. I kept re-reading stuff and still have no idea what it was. There are certain steps I have to do every Friday at work and I found my self having to go thru them again and again because I kept forgetting what I had already done. My boss told me to take the rest of the day off when I told him. So I went home and started to search but my brain couldn’t put two thoughts together coherently. Heck, it’s amazing it could still keep my blood pumping and lungs breathing, although I am positive my heart was skipping every few beats.
Saturday was my son’s birthday party so I was extra busy with that all day and today I have been playing with my son. This evening I haven’t done much either. Just relaxing watching an old twilight zone.
So another week starts with Christmas just around the bend and I have a name. I don’t know if I will have anything more by Christmas but it looks like I have a name.

I too want to know how you got the name!
Congrats on the new baby to be. I had similar feelings for my firstborn, but I “sucked it up” (at least on the outside) knowing that I didn’t want him to grow up feeling like I had rejected HIM. With my 2nd, everything was a bit easier. I was making experienced guesses instead of educated guesses. Big difference.
It will be different/better for you too. Promise. ;)
