First Contact


Two years ago today we received our very first email from Meredith Hope. Rob and I will always relive that moment in our hearts, as we joyfully relay each detail to Brendan.

I didn’t have that ‘you just know’ feeling everyone says you are supposed to have when you try on your wedding dress, and I didn’t even have it the first moment I met Rob (sorry dear), but I did as I read the mail from Meredith. Of course I had to trick my heart into remaining only cautiously confident until she realized we were the right family, but I’d like to think that a part of her just knew as well. We once asked her how she managed to narrow the stack of 500 letters down to one, and she told us that each evening she would read through as many as she could, and then in the morning if there were letters she was still thinking about, she would put them aside. She kept doing that, and the stack kept getting smaller and smaller, until one day she sent us a letter.
