Boxing Day Baby!

What a busy time we've been having. Today it is my birthday. I expect there will be some fun to be had by all!

It is a poignant day for me. I met my birth mother once. It did not go well.  (Meeting my birth mother) I often think of my mother in the hospital, alone. She didn't tell her family, but lived with a foster family in Toronto until I was born.

Happily, I was adopted into a loving family. Both my parents have passed over.

In the meantime, we have had snow!
Notice the snowman feeder, the seed piled up inside.
We had Christmas with two of my three children, and their families. More on that later!

I love all your feeders, and guess the message gets spread around. " Call in here for a feed and a photo session" The snow, it is piled up, and to have 2 out of 3 with you, that must have been very special. I wonder which friend passed on my address to you? I did get some emails asking for my new address, maybe it was one of them.XXX for your birthday all over again.

Happy birthday. Have a great day. Your birthday brings back some memories and lots of questions.

The snow is a welcome sight. We have had it consistently in town, and it is snowing again now.

Happy Birthday! Two of our granddaughters are adopted and are great sisters to each other though from different countries. They know they are loved!

Happy Birthday to you! I was born a day after you, only some ten years earlier.
Adoption is a complex matter, especially for the adopted. There's anger, curiosity, worry (genetics), but the moment one starts one's own family, all the thoughts and actions go forward as it should be.
Happy 2019 year!
