For twelve years there has been a deep hole in our family circle. Samantha Nichelle was taken from her parents home.... many details I won't publish made it so she wasn't allowed to live with family members. It has been heart breaking to our family.
We wondered if the memory of a six year-old could possibly bring her to find us. On her 18th birthday in December, we set up a blog so if she wanted to find us she could......
The gaping hole in our family circle was instantly mended on Thursday night. I had just walked in the house from our spring break trip. The exhaustion I felt was relieved by a phone call from Carrie. "Samantha has found us!!!" She was searching for us too.
She wondered if we remembered her??? Are you kidding? We missed her everyday.
Yesterday, we went to dinner with her.
She was just as delightful as any vision we had of her. She was perfect!
We love you BriAnna. Thank you for letting us back into your life. You are an amazing young woman. I know Heavenly Father brought you back into our lives. I look forward to getting to know you better. I am grateful to your adoptive family for giving you a good life.
I think I had a glimpse into Heaven. What a glorious blessing it is to be reunited with lost loved ones. The wait seemed eternal.
Life is a wonderful thing!!
