Dear Mr. Hanks,

I have admired your talent for many years.
Last night, I had the privilege of watching "Cast Away", a remarkable movie.
I'm a mom who has adopted two wonderful children from Guatemala, and am now in the process of adopting a third child. My family and I have been waiting...and waiting...for seven and a half months now. And we don't know when the waiting will finally end. I'd like to thank you so much for something you said in "Cast Away", I know it will make the waiting easier. I apologize if the quotes aren't precise.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful quote - it's one to remember when we face many different obstacles in life.

May your tide come in soon . . .

Simple thoughts talk to our hearts...

Monica,

I did not know that you were adopting your 3rd child - a dream to me - this is so great even if the waiting is so hard and long now you know already how much it's worthed.

Courage to you, we wait here with you and the day will come!
