rosa1I rarely ever post anything personal but I have to share.  Yesterday was a special day.  Yesterday was Rosa’s Day. 

As I sat in the courtroom and watched this special little girl, dressed in what she calls her “twirly dress”, smiling with pure happiness, I thought back to the day almost two years ago when I first met her.  Details are not important and are too personal to be shared but she was a foster child who was to be a temporary addition to my daughter’s family.

Yesterday, temporary became permanant as the judge, looking stern in his black robes while trying to smother a smile, said “I approve this adoption and name change.”

Yesterday was Rosa’s Special Day.  But yesterday was also a very special day for our whole family as my daughter and son-in-law acquired a new daugher and I acquired a new grand-daughter.

Yesterday was Rosa’s Day.  But yesterday was also Family Day.
