the calm

I am happy to report that everything is going so well with Bobbie and the whole adoption process. I never thought I would say that. Every time we talk it's completely normal like old friends. It's a totally normal thing to do to look into every word or body language but with Bobbie I don't have to, she never lets me down. Last time I spoke with her on Monday she said something that gave me chills, she referred to Mike as the daddy when she was talking to a friend. She told me she was telling her friend "I think she will be born on September 24" the friend said "why that date?" Bobbie said "because that is the baby's dad's birthday" the friend replied "the real dad?" Bobbie said "he is the real dad" I got off the phone with her and said out loud I love Bobbie. Mind you no one was home but Buddy! I never thought I would be here talking and making plans to hang out with a birth mother the plans of my heart were much different that the plans of my Father. It is a miracle everyday to wake up and have a relationship I never expected. Never. I am thankful for the calm in our life right now and I hope I always remember these days.
