Day 4 - The Morning After
by Andrew JohnsonWe should point out that we are in constant contact with our birthmother. She is doing well, but not getting enough rest because she says the baby is very active at night. She feels it is soon. Our hosts, or “landlords,” are the kind the people that make you pledge to yourself that you will pass on the same unconditional generosity in the future that has been shown to you - “paying it forward” so to speak. This adventure would be so much more stressful and scary if not for the interest and compassion of Gloria and Mike. And we are extremely grateful for finding Dena (Mike and Gloria’s daughter), our lawyer and now friend. We feel very protected - both legally and emotionally - maybe these are our rewards. Unfortunately, Mike is in the hospital due to some health problems but always asks if we’ve heard about the baby yet. He’ll be OK, and we’re very happy to be able to help out with their dogs (2 big, goofy Dobermans) and whatever else we can do. Perhaps this baby will be their reward too. It is our wish that you all are touched by the kindness of strangers in some point in your lives, in the same way we have been blessed on this journey. Oh about the actual happenings of the day? Just work and finding the Fed Ex drop.
