July 25, 1972 St. Joseph's Hospital. Its a BOY!

To my bmom...if this happens to be you, Well, my birthday's coming up, and there you are doing that annual reflecting of that moment, 32 years ago. You were young, and had just had a baby at St Josephs hospital in St. Paul Minnesota. You'd chosen to give the boy up for adoption. You think, is he okay? Did I make the right choice? Is this the year that we will meet? What will he say? What would I do? Is he angry? Wow. That's a lot to think about. EVERY YEAR At the end of July. Will this be the year? Well, it can be! First of all, I AM okay. I'm just fine. I'm happy, healthy, and doing well. I am not IN ANY WAY upset, or angry. I have a pretty good life. I would love to have the chance, just once, to look you in the eyes and say, "thank you, you did the right thing." My life is full. ...but I have always saved a special spot in my heart for you. Its yours. You can have it if you'd like. It will always be there. I hope that you would decide to accept it. It's funny. I find myself, at times like this, thinking, "I miss you." Which is odd, since we only met briefly over three decades ago. Hmmm. Maybe this WILL be the year.
