Last night, for the first time, we got to meet Rachel, Ceecee’s daughter that she gave up for adoption! Rachel and her boyfriend drove out and are staying at Angie and Ian’s. Angie had already met her, but we had only talked to Rachel over the phone and a little bit on Facebook.
We went out to their place last night and just sat and talked. It was pretty surreal, but very fulfilling. For almost as long as I’ve known Ceecee, she’s talked about this happening. We couldn’t do anything to bring it about. We’ve just had to wait.
Through the years, there have been times when we thought it would happen soon, and times when we wondered if it would ever happen at all.
They are going to be here for a few days, so tonight, it was just very casual. We didn’t stay very long and didn’t want there to be any pressure or expectations. We just wanted to get the initial meeting out of the way and then we’ll just play it by ear after this.
Today, I have to work at Macy’s and Ceecee is going with all of them to spend some time together in Branson.
