Being Loved

I posted on Facebook last night how grateful I am for the people in my life who are open to adoption and how much my heart just soars with love. I'm getting teary eyed writing this post because being adopted I have a special place in my heart for those that are adopted and those that do the adopting.

My mom isn't on facebook so I texted her what I had posted on facebook and said thank you for adopting me. And what she wrote back caused the tears to stream down my face:

Thank you I was very blessed to get you. I'm sorry the road has been rocky at times.

Always know no matter what I love you with all my heart.

She's right. The road has been rough- filled with pot holes and bumps and sometimes man holes that we weren't expecting. But the beauty of life is that the road winds, it changes but it continues. There is no dead end for us. We've found our way out of some of the toughest places. There was so much grace felt in that text message because she was offering out the hope that tomorrow is always there, that no matter what happens she will always be there. Most days it's comforting to know that regardless of how rocky the road has been you have your mother in your corner cheering you on, loving you and supporting you.
