There's always another perspective

I am blessed with being surrounded with amazing people.   People that I learn from all the time and I'm very thankful for their presence in my life.

I received this note from a childhood friend of mine and it really touched me.  Not just because of the raw emotion in her note, but because she took the time to share something so personal and knew that it would help me in my own personal journey.  

She gave me permission to share it.  I have eliminated her name to honor her privacy.  I hope that this touches someone else the way it touched me.

  I read your beautiful blog post. Happy Gotchya Day! I wanted to send this message privately because it's just for you.

  I AM a birth mother. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my son I placed for adoption over 33 years ago. Each day, I send him light, love, and hope for a happy, fulfilled life. The connection between mother and child is a bond that transcends the laws of the universe.

  About 4 years ago, I had a very vivid dream, just after his 29th birthday. There was a knock at my front door. When I opened the door, there was a young man standing there. He said, "Do you know who I am?" I replied, "Yes, I know who you are." When I woke, I told my husband about this amazing dream. How real it was, and it was my son.

  A few weeks later, I received a letter in the mail from Catholic Charities stating that my son has been looking for me! Since then, it's been an incredible journey. Very emotional as you can imagine. While we haven't yet met face to face, we have communicated through email, FB, and a couple of phone calls over the years.

  I am confident that all will happen in God's time.

  I just wanted to let you know Jenny, that a mother's love is never forgotten and lost. She prays for you, thinks of you, and hopes only for the best life for you....because her love for you will always be connected. She honors your mother and father. She calls the universe to protect you and guide you always. Trust your senses, she may visit you in your dreams.

  Many blessings to you and your family on your journey.

  MY LOVE, M
