From Your Aunt Susan

Oi Kids!

There's been so much going on. The paperwork is insurmountable and very confusing but it will be worth it in the end when you finally arrive. In life nothing good comes easy and you have to work hard to get what you want. Rest assured though that you will always have what you need and the rest, all the extras are up to us. On that note, we received another comment, from your aunt Susan who is the mother of your cousins TJ and Christian. Susan's mother (Aunt Maryann) was adopted. She was your grandmother's best friend together with Aunt Fran (who adopted her children). Yep, the three of them were life long friends and deserve a special mention, as soon as I get a chance to write it! But for now:

Hi! This is a message from your Aunt Susan.

Well... you are finally here (almost)! We have all been expecting you and anxiously awaiting your arrival. You have been well planned for and your mom could not be more excited about sharing life with you. As part of our family you will be subject to a world of love and opportunity. Your mom is a very special person who has so much to offer. We welcome you with open arms. In this family your thoughts and feelings are important. Remember to speak to those closest to you and never be afraid to ask questions and explore, as the world can be a scary place and that is why you will always have family to lean on. I hope that you will get to know my sons, (your cousins) TJ and Christian. They are great boys. They also look forward to meeting you and having you share in their world. I know you will be the missing links that make this family chain unbreakable. WELCOME!!!!
