A good day
Warning: If you are looking for drama or a heated discussion, this is not the post for you.
Yesterday was one of those really incredible spring days here---bright and sunny, about 75, a little breeze. The trees are starting to leaf out, the tulips are in bloom. I took H to meet with his bmom,M, and her parents and her new baby at the park. Nothing really special, just kind of a regular visit.
They brought H a kite, and there was just enough wind for it. He was absolutely delighted, and spent about an hour (a long time when you're 2) flying it w/ M's dad while I gave the new baby a bottle and talked to M and her mom. It was just a nice afternoon at the park for a little boy and his grandfather. It's nothing really, so I can't explain why it made me so happy, but it did.
Sometimes when I was waiting for H, I would get on here and read posts about tensions between birthfamilies and adoptive families and I got depressed and scared about what I was getting myself into. But I know now there are lots of stories like mine, about nothing special, just life's little moments that we take for granted at the time. I just thought today that I would share one.
