Most people have probably not experienced adoption as intimately as we have. And so I know it must be hard to understand the feelings we have for Meredith. Unknowing strangers might look at adoption with a sense of fear, and wonder why we don’t want to just say thank you very much, run the other way with the baby and never look back. Let me try and explain: Picture in your head and heart, your very favorite thing in the world. The thing that would make you the most sad to not have as part of your life. Maybe it’s your spouse, your parents, your dog, your best friend, sunshine, pizza, vacations – Maybe it’s a tie between several of these things. You got something? Okay, now picture that there was only one person in all the world who could give that thing to you. Only one person who was responsible for creating that thing, and only one person selfless enough to decide to give it to you. Without that person, you would never experience sunshine. It was certainly not an easy road to create sunshine, and sunshine still means an awful lot to that person – but she still decided to give it to you with all her heart.
You picking up what I’m throwing down? If I explained that well at all, then you are currently saying ‘whoa’. You now understand why I want to hire skywriters to plaster my eternal gratitude to Meredith all across the skies. Why I want every one of her dreams to come true. And while we’re at it, go ahead and extend that awe to the woman who raised Meredith to be the kind of woman she is.
You didn’t think that Thanksgiving could come without me getting all sappy, did you?
I am blessed. I have so much to be thankful for. I am so aware of that. And I am truly thankful. For my family – my Mom and Dad who have always loved me with a love that I can now finally really understand. For Rob’s family who raised the best man I have ever met, and welcomed me into their family when I met them for the first time on Thanksgiving 10 years ago. For our home – and that it has the feeling I always dreamed that it would. For Chelsea who was the catalyst for almost every good thing we now experience, and who curls up into a snuggly brown ball at night. For our friends who constantly find new ways to surprise me with the depth of their love and support. For Brendan, who has truly made my life feel complete. For Meredith who had no idea what she was in for… And for my husband. The man who makes my entire life what it is. Who has kept me strong in sickness and in health – and still finds new ways to delight me every single day. He loves me unconditionally and believes in me to a depth I know I don’t deserve, but inspires me to try and be the person whom he sees. The man who made all my dreams come true – and kept those dreams alive even when I was losing hope. I spend a lot of time marveling at the love I have for our son, but none of it would be possible without the foundation of love that Rob and I have for each other.
