Richard responds – in a way
When we received confirmation that our letter had been delivered to Richard, we anxiously awaited his response. We knew that it could take him some time to process his feelings and how connecting with us would impact his family. But he seemed so wonderful – we were certain that he would have an open mind and be willing to answer our questions.
Hi, everyone. It’s hard to believe that it’s been six months since my last post. So much has happened since then, and I needed time to process everything. There have been many ups and downs in this journey that, at times, seems never ending. New information has left me feeling shocked, numbed, and sometimes depressed. But I’ve also experienced feelings of unimaginable gratitude, happiness, and down right joy. Thank you all for being a part of my story. Sharing with you has been extremely healing and rewarding.

Who am I?
I am a proud midwestern woman at heart who fell in love with California. Except for short periods of time, I am optimistic and content.
What is your biggest strength as a mom?
First, I am very spontaneous and can pack to drive to the ocean in about 90 minutes. Second, my sixteen year old daughter tells me that she can tell me almost anything. (For the hard talks we have been known to meet in the coat closet so she doesn’t have to look in my eyes when she is embarrassed.) Okay, I know this is my third strength, but my kids say I’m silly.
