Hi line9,
I think the flowers might be overkill - and it could actually cause problems for her if she needs to explain flowers to a husband (!!!) but isn't ready to share the letter with him yet. The letter will probably be pretty overwhelming for her all by itself.

I think your letter is perfect, and I hope you have wonderful results.

I wrote a letter to my bmom 5 months ago, similar to yours but with a bit more detail about my life (not too much, though) and still haven't heard anything back. It's been very hard for me to deal with not hearing back from her. I sent my letter UPS Overnight, and they left it on her front porch. I suspect she got the letter, but I don't know for sure. I wish I had sent it so that she had to sign for it. I'm tempted to write another letter, but I'm SCARED that she's going to fully reject me... *sigh*

I hope you have better luck than I've had. I know this is a really exciting time (and then some!) and I'm sorry if I sound like I'm raining on your parade. Just be aware that you might spend a long time in limbo - or you might hear from her the same day she receives the letter. Be prepared either way.

Good luck!
