We rushed home. So completely nervous. Were we seeing our dreams come true? I remember trying to shut my eyes and imagine how it would all play out in a flash. I remember meeting some wonderful woman that was pregnant and promised me her baby. I remember never having to worry about whether or not I would get you. I didn't want to open my eyes and face reality and the difficult road we had ahead. We got home and wanted to call, but didn't because we didn't know what to expect. I had to just do it. I had to just make myself sit on the couch and open my cell phone and D I A L the number. I did it. It rang. She answered. On the other end of the phone was the sweetest sounding girl I had ever heard. She was a doll over the phone. Very polite, very kind, and very soft spoken. Our conversation was short. We decided on lunch the next day at Chilis and that we would pick her up, and best of all she wanted to bring her daughter... your sister! I got off the phone and just sat there... smiling. I couldn't believe this was happening. I couldn't believe how fast it had happened. This just doesn't happen for people and definitely not us!
I imagined all afternoon what she looked like and where she lived and what did she like. I wondered about her. She gave me her address so we waited till evening to drive by. We didn't see much since it was dark. I remember going home from our drive and getting on the internet...I went straight to myspace and searched for Jessica and holy cow.... there she was. My mohawked angel. The girl I thought was so soft spoken was on myspace with a mohawk. I saw her. I saw him. I saw your sister. I fell in love.
