Nanci Meets Her Bio-Mom

With that said...

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for, my entire life!  I will finally meet my bio-mom!!  I don't possess the words in my vocabulary to adequately describe my excitement!!  I am blessed beyond measure that I have been received with such love, open arms and welcomed into this family.  

During this journey, that all of you have been such an integral part of, I have become humbled, beyond belief, at how each and every person that my path has crossed, has brought so much to my life and how important the timing of each encounter with each person has been!  I only pray, that in some way, I have or will be able to give to each of you, even a morsel of the love, strength and support that each of you have given to me. When I reflect on my life, all the wonderment and struggles included, I can now see, why each and every experience needed to take place and take place when it did.  It's like a gigantic "connect-the-dot" puzzle.  I'm off to connect, yet another dot!!

My deepest gratitude to each and everyone of you, for just being you!!!  I love you!  I treasure you!  And I thank you for all of your love, support and patience with me throughout this journey!

xoxo
Nanci.. your daughter; your mom; your wife; your step-mom; your sister; your friend; your neighbor

We love you, as always. We wish you happiness in all of your tomorrows.

Love,
Auntie Myrna and Uncle Tim

When I write my book, I will have you proof it for me.  I write peoms often.  I don't dare let you look at them.

Love,

Gordon

Oddly, it is the folks who really just write because they have something to say who become rich and famous. The rest of us get lost in rules.
