With Thanksgiving fast approaching and all of the baking that will need to be done I am wondering. Does she know?? Does she know there is a table full of family that loves her because she is family? Does she know that her Aunt will take the black olives off of her plate when she is not looking? Does she know that her Aunt and I will try to talk her into putting the black olives on her fingers? Does she know that if there is a special side dish she likes that either her Grandmother, Aunt or I would make sure it was there? Does she know her Step-Grandpa would love to hear her jokes, no matter how corny they are? Does she know that at the table, during dinner, she can tell a wild tale and make everyone laugh? Does she know she has 10-year old cousin who will give her tons of hugs because he loves her just for being family? Does she know that she has a little sister who will drag her out to the horse barn and introduce her to all of Grandma's horses? Does she know she has a Great-Grandmother that will be there? Does she know that even though her Aunt has taken claim to a whole Pumpkin Pie that she will still share it with her? Does she know that I make the best ever sinful Triple Chocolate Mess Cake?? Does she know that within 30 minutes we can have the table cleared, the leftovers divied up and the dishes done? Does she know that her Step-Grandpa can fall asleep while holding a full cup of coffee and not spill one drop? Does she know that the paintings in her Grandma's house were done by her Grandma and she won ribbons for them at the state fair? Does she know that her Grandma expects a Christmas Wishlist from her? (BTW, don't put "winning lotto ticket" or "map to the money tree"...I've done it for years and still haven't seen it. LOL) Does she know that she has a family that will welcome her with open arms and love her unconditionally? Does she know how hard I am trying to be patient? Does she know that I am here waiting for the time to be right for her? Well in case she doesn't know. I hope she has a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with love and happiness.

I wish I was brave enough to post the "Does She Know" in my blog.
Thank you InBlindFaith. As an adoptee I want more than anything to belive that my mother thinks of me during the holidays. Because: I would sneak her black olives off her plate when she looks at the big hairy spider on the wall I so dramatically pointed out, even though no spider is present. I would offer her the last piece of pie and then look at it longingly so that she would share it with me. I would make four pots of coffe because my pot is so small just so she and my other guests could have a full cup. I would squirt her hand with the whip cream, purely by accident of course. I would tell her of all my cooking traditions for each and every holiday known to man. I would argue with her about doing the dishes because she is a guest, but then I would relent and would let her pack up the food cause I hate doing that! I would sit by the fire with her and my husband, children and other guests while we watch christmas shows feeling warm, full, happy and lazy. I would let her know that she has always had a place at my table, in my home, and in my heart and always will. Oh this holiday seems especially painfull, because I feel so close to finding her, but cannot seem to. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and thank you for all your input, advise, support and loving words. :flowergift:

I guess I will have to take pictures on Thanksgiving and create a new slide show on myspace...just in case she is checking me out. I wish I was brave enough to post the "Does She Know" in my blog.
