so far so close

This Dan of DnD........

I made it safely home Thursday night despite the best efforts of Northwest and Delta airlines....

I wanted to share a little bit of my flight home because it was like swerving into destiny, not quite hitting it but getting close enough to see it. This will make sense in a minute......

As some of you know I recently took a work assignment in in South Korea.

This has me travelling every 28 days.

While coming home this time, my plane was delayed in Tokyo,Japan.

I noticed several western families with Asian children, babies to be more exact.....

I introduced myself to them and inquired as to were they returning from China after adopting....they were......

See where this is going??? Now does the earlier statement about crashing into destiny make sense???

Anyway, I spoke for several minutes with these lucky families and relayed our story as well...All the children were happy and healthy....

I guess what I am trying to convey here is that I got a glimpse of what it is going to be like for us......one day.....I can't deny that I was stricken with a minor dose of jealousy, but then the eyes of an angel met mine and reminded me that it is not something to covet, but rather something to embrace and be thankful for.........

And it just made my resolve even stronger, for it was then that I realized this was my only true goal left and that I have the rest of my life to prepare, wait, and hope for.......

In closing, if any of those families from Northwest flight 12 from Tokyo-Nari ta, Japan to Detroit on December 14th, 2007 read this I say Merry Christmas and God Bless.......
