Attitude

I have a feeling that this won't be the last time I get this look from little Miss Landry. Isn't she hilarious?! I forgot to mention that yesterday was my 'Adoption Day'. I got here 36 years ago and at 17 months old, I weighed LESS than Landry does now and she's not even 5 months yet. I was so tiny and sick when I arrived here. I had never had any nutritious food and Mother had to gradually introduce me to my new diet. I think about my humble beginnings and again, I realize how truly special this journey that I call life has been for me. When we were in Vietnam last year, I saw the way my life could have turned out and I just wanted to kiss the ground(here, that is!). I know that I would have been happy but I don't think that I could have done the good things I have done in my life. I have always tried to give back to my community because I felt that it was my duty to pay it forward in some way. I will always work hard to instill that in Landry and I pray that she develops a strong sense of selflessness and gratitude because of it. I only hope that I don't get too many of these looks along the way.
