I had the honor of finalizing this awesome teenager’s adoption today! He’s such a polite and well mannered and sweet young man, who always has a smile on his face. Now it’s a Merry Christmas ! (and they lived happily ever after).

Greatest Valentine’s Gift

Greatest Valentine's Gift

Today was an extremely emotional day for me, ending with me crying in my car. I wasn’t crying because something awful had happened in court on this day (though I have a few times in the past). There was just so much emotion and love in that court house, it was almost overwhelming. I had the adoption finalization for two of my children, sisters, ages 9 and 6. My 9 year-old, who is such a sweet and sensitive child, climbed into her adoptive mother’s lap and cried throughout the hearing. Her cute little chubby cheeks were red, and she was so worked up. Everyone in the court room, even the normally hard-nosed Judge and the deputies, had tears in their eyes or were crying. I was bawling. After the ceremony, the little girl said she was crying because “I’m happy to be adopted, but sad because me and my little sister lost our birth mother.”

And they lived happily ever after

When you’re close to tears remember
Some day it’ll all be over
One day we’re gonna get so high
And though it’s darker than December
What’s ahead is a different color
One day we’re gonna get so high

And at the end of the day
remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we’ll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day
remember the way
We stayed so close till the end
We’ll remember it was me and you

‘Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love

Don’t you think it’s time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day we’re gonna get so high
‘Cause even the impossible
is easy when we got each other
One day ‘we’re gonna get so high

The Gay Road Less Traveled

A friend of mine who used to be one of the hard working under appreciated social workers for the State here in Pensacola has written a book now available on Kindle, John Jernigan’s “The Gay Road Less Traveled.” I purchased it tonight to start it, couldn’t out it down, it was so funny. Graphic, real, and hysterical, John’s writing is endearing, funny, smart and if you happen to be drinking coffee, it may shoot out of your nose at some point during one of his vignettes. You can read it on Kindle.
