What I Did on My Christmas Vacation

Well, I didn't really have much of a vacation--just two days for Christmas and New Year's Day, but this is about what I did on New Year's Day.

Almost 38 years ago, my sister had a baby girl whom she put up for adoption. For all these years, I have missed my niece, and prayed for her, and felt like there was a big hole in our family, and I often hoped that I would meet her one day. And, that is what I did on New Year's Day.


So, here we have my mother, my sister, Lisa, with her arms around her granddaughter, Olivia, and my niece, Nikki.

It was a great visit. Everybody got along. Nikki and her daughter fit right in. All in all it was the best possible Christmas present.

And I really am going to write a blog post soon. I'm working on one now.

  3. I remember those sad days right after Lisa gave up her daughter. I am going to posts a poem, I wrote for all of those who gave up a child for adoption. See oneata2@blogspot.com
