Please, if you are reading this post, send off a quick prayer or thought into the universe regarding the safety of our flights! I am leaving tomorrow to pick up my 9 month old daughter in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia where she has been in a care center since birth. We leave tomorrow and I will get to meet her and hold her for the first time on Monday the 22nd of June.
I know we are not any more special or deserving of a safe flight than the people on Air France.... I also know that I have been expecting "the other shoe to drop" any day now... because this kind of goodness, this kind of amazing gift (a human being!!! a child!!!) seems like too much for any one person to receive from the Gods... it all feels a bit like it won't come to fruition, like at the last minute something very bad will happen and I will never get to meet Charlie. Or worse, I will meet her and the plane bringing us both back will go down. So on that bright note.... please help us out and send some positive vibes into the universe so we actually, amazingly, despite the odds, make it back home safe and sound.
I'll be updating my blog from there if anyone cares to check in on our progress and the moment of meeting Charlie hopefully with pictures (but not sure about that one) and once I return with video.
Thanks, I appreciate any prayers!
