Waiting on the world to change...

No news here!

N called this morning with the report that we have no news to report! The good news is that the Sisters have learned some interesting information in regards to Y's situation and they feel very equipped to make the application for her. After receiving additional information on Friday, they are choosing to make the report sometime later this week!

I can't say that I am feeling totally positive, but I am also not wallowing in a pit of despair! I have so appreciated the e-mails, phone calls, text messages, comments and general support from all of you! Thank you for following our story and for caring about Y!

I had to force myself to be engaged while at work today! Being present is so super hard when your mind in 7000 miles away! I had a wonderful weekend visiting a long time friend, having dinner with another and catching up on sleep and phone calls. My goal for this week is to try and be a bit more present and less focused on things that I cannot control! Wish me luck in that venture!

We still seek your thoughts and prayers for Y this week!

I have been thinking of you a lot. I'm glad to hear that you are not in the depths of despair. I honestly cannot imagine the roller coaster you are on. I also cannot believe that something amazing won't come from this. I don't think that is wishful thinking ... it doesn't feel that way.
I do wish you luck in your venture ... being present can be so difficult when your mind and heart are wandering to other places. You are brave and you are strong.
