Letter writing and pictures

Jeff and I have been preparing for our social worker to come visit us tomorrow (the 28th) for our 2nd post placement visit. I have completed the post placement form plus attachment. The hardest thing for me is writing the letter to the Foster mom. Please don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to it's more that it's emotional for me.

My thoughts drift far from my work that I need to do. My thoughts are in Korea. I wonder how the foster family is doing. I wonder how the First Mom is doing. Writing the letter is a labor of love. Normally I spend a week doing writing the letter. I write some of it and cry then take a break come back to it and write some more. All of it comes direct from the heart.

Pictures are even harder. How does one select a few from so many? I am always sending a little more than what was suggested just because I can't choose.

I always hope that the foster mom will like the pictures that the letter is understandable.

While tomorrow I'll feel like I'm talking to a long lost friend, tonight is a night of reflection and thoughts which drift to Korea.
