I’ll keep this short because too many words can ruin things.

I haven’t heard from Little Lassie’s birth family in over a year. Last mother’s day was our last contact when LL’s birth mom texted me and wished me a happy mother’s day. I responded in the like and then there was silence, until yesterday. Yesterday morning, I texted LL’s birth mom. I didn’t tell anyone about it. FlyGuy didn’t even know. I waited for the silence. I got a text back. She is fine. I am grateful. Maybe that is why texting can be good- too many words can ruin things.

I love that: “too many words can ruin things.”

I’m glad you’ve heard that she’s fine.

I know I always say this, or something like it, but You.Are.AMAZING. That you keep trying is so incredible. I don’t know if I’m supposed to be proud of you, but I am somehow. It’s weird. Kudos. And great news that she’s ok.

this must be a tremendous relief. You are at once the most patient and perserverant person I know! Hugs QQ

what that’s great. i am happy that she is okay. maybe one day she’ll be able to muster up the strength to have more contact. time doesn’t heal all wounds-or so I’ve found-but it does make them less raw.

You’re right, sometimews a few words is enough.
