This has been a week of incredible highs, and deflating lows. If someone had told me that the wait would get more difficult, I would not have believed them. After four years I thought I had been through all of the highs and lows of waiting. Nope! The lows get deeper as we get closer.
I was sucked in and I let myself get excited that this would be the week we would finally see Polar Cub’s picture. Big Bear and I planned our days ‘in case’ we got the call. I talked and planned with friends. My students came in every passing period wanting to know if I had any news. Friends stopped by my classroom searching for news. The texts and emails throughout the day were so fun and encouraging! It was exciting!
I should have known better. You’d think that I would have learned by now NOTHING ever goes as planned with this wait ~

N – O – T – H – I – N – G!!!
The rumors aren’t great for next week, but then again they are just rumors.
Yesterday I was ok with having to wait until maybe next week.
Today is not so ok.
Tomorrow ~ who knows?!? I do know that nothing has really changed…
…the wait continues!
I am so sorry. It is so heart wrenching. RQ is never right with this stuff, so don't get too depressed. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. This sucks.
ReplyDeleteLet's say that this is the last low before the Big Hill that is this adoption process.
I am so sorry. Another 4 letter word from Hannah and I (((hugs)))
