Elona called and is on her way over with Greta's visa! We're all set to head for home! We are so ready to be home but I'm dreading the 22 hours of travel!

When I was out walking yesterday, I heard Bing Crosby singing Christmas tunes. Today I was in a gift shop and heard Johnny Cash! I never expected that!

I knew I would have new compassion, understanding, empathy, etc. for adoptive families as I went through this journey, but I had no idea how much so! When Robert told me that Elona had called and was on her way over, I had to get busy cleaning the apartment, combing Greta's hair, and worrying about what she was wearing. Robert was amused!
