7-3-06 I am waiting for my daughter. You were born on 12-24-91. I named you Asia Lee. Your adoptive parents named you Anne Elizabeth. You were born and have lived most of your life until now(2006) in Reno, NV. I know that when you were 10 or 11 you were in the Reno Rodeo Parade as a Junior working cowgirl. I know that when you were 13 you sang the National Anthem at the Chester Wild West Rodeo. I happened to be at the 2006 Reno Rodeo when you were on the flag team. You held your flag right in front of me during the National Anthem and passed by me brushing my shoulder twice that night. It was like being touched by an Angel. I wanted so much to reach out to you and hug you. I wanted to talk to your mom and dad. It was all I could do to stay in my seat. But as always I understood the importance of your life and I just appreciated the incredible moment. I know that I loved you then now and always as a birth mother who cannot help herself. I would so like to know who you have become to discover you as I have my other children as they have grown. I thank God every day(yes I still think about you every day) for your beautiful parents and for you because you all saved my life in many different ways. I am forever grateful to your parents and I love them as the most precious gift I was ever given. It is my hope that you will find this post someday and at least know that I am here. Not to replace your parents which I could never do but maybe to add to your life as you I am sure would add to mine. 7-4-07 It has been another year. As is the tradition with my husband and I, we attended the rodeo for the final performance for his birthday. I was so hopeful to see you and again I was blessed to see you. In fact, you sat in the stands 6 seats in front of me with your mom. I watched you talk and laugh and I felt so lucky to get another little glimpse into your life. I don't know if your mom and dad can understand how grateful I have felt over the years. And more intensely over the last couple. Sometimes, even I am surprised at how intensely I feel about them. How much I love them even though I don't know them well. Your mom and dad and I have had to have more trust for eachother than in any other relationship that I have ever encountered. We had to trust each other to really love you. To consider your well being above everything else. You are so precious it has almost been effortless. That being said, I don't want you to ever think that I didn't want you then or that I don't want to know you now. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There are times when I long for you so badly that it hurts. But I always think of the times I saw you when you were little and of these last couple of years and you have had such a great life. You have such a great chance to succeed. You have so much more than I could have given you when you were born. You would have had to endure such tragedy and hardship if I would have kept you. Even though I finally succeeded in my own life, the life you have trumps completely my own selfish need to hug you. I couldn't help but smile when I saw you this year. Beautiful and confident. A good rider(which is a really great compliment comming from my husband who cowboyed on ranches around Elko a good portion of his life). I have never regretted for you choosing your mom and dad to love you as they have. I love you all. I hope to see you next year. 7-11-08 My dearest Anne, You weren't at the Reno Rodeo this year. I was disappointed but you are growing up and that is a good thing. I know you are in H.S. rodeo as a boy I've known for a long time is also. He was in my wedding and I love him like my own kid. He participated in the Elko HS Rodeo. I saw his contestant list and couldn't believe that you were there. Right in my town.I didn't make it to that one but I think it is funny how often our paths cross. How often I may have seen you and not known it. I think of you and wonder at the things you are doing and hope you are safe. Love is an ocean. I am always amazed at the depth and breadth of it. There is always more to give. I hope in your heart you know I am here always. That my love for you has never stopped. 5-17-09 Anne, This year has been a hard one. I found you on MySpace.(Just an aside has your mother seen that???)You are wonderful and beautiful and I long for you so much. Our lives are so parallel it is strange. You probably know the song by Keith Anderson--I still miss you. Even though it is about a different kind of love that song always reminds me of my journey to accept my love for you and to accept the pain of losing you. Time is a freight train and an ephemeral stream when it comes to you. We will be at the rodeo again this year in Reno. I hope to see you even though you won't know I am there. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
