Hi Beth ~
I enjoyed reading your “About Me ~ Profile” and something that I just had to write you about...
Interesting fact about your childhood: I’m adopted.
When I read that you were adopted I felt a slight tinge of pain inside and it surprised me. Why was this happening? I thought for a moment and the only thing I could come up with was the different troubles adopted children seem to have run into all too often. So I put those thoughts on hold and continued with your profile.
Coolest things anyone ever gave you:
You absolutely crushed me with this answer and with tears in my eyes I just had to leave a word or two about my feelings. I’ve come from a slight tinge of pain finding that you were adopted to a heart full of good feelings for you and your life. Isn’t it funny how printed words on a screen can bring out such feelings?
What would be your dream job now: Mom.
The three questions and answers are so overpoweringly lifting to me about you and your life that here I am sending this note off and hoping I expressed it well enough so you’ll see how happy I am for you and your fortunate family to have you, and not think this is some kind of nut.
I wish for you a continued wonderful life and thank you for the others that have adopted children and are fortunate enough to have read your profile. I know there are multitudes of families with adopted children out there but all too often you hear only about the troubled ones. Thank you so much for sharing.
