My Brother Michael Di Gesu, in timely fashion as always, has put together a blogfest in celebration of summer. What did you do on your summer vacation? Is summer really over already? I guess I am in denial even as I hear the sound of the fire in our wood stove.
So I will tell you what I did this summer and you are not going to believe the vacation I had! I went on a heart and mind trip like no other. I won the most wonderful trip to what could have been an episode of “This is your life.” I spent my summer getting to know a son that I thought was lost to me at birth. He found me 34 years after I had given him up for adoption, so I traveled through cyber space with the help of Facebook and Skype. I also got to watch my daughter meet her brother and her sister for the first time. You can read about that here. Not your typical vacation I agree. No airplane tickets or packing required, no hotels or vacation resort, no money was spent. I can tell you though that this has been a summer that I will never forget, a vacation that was unlike any other, and I can truly say that I had the time of my life and I believe in miracles!

Ah ha, now I understand some of those earlier posts. Congratulations - how wonderful.
I'm so happy that you got to do this. I'm so busy right now have had a hard time getting on here. I'm so sorry Ihavne't been over more. Since I did the blog make over I had to delete all my buttons so I'm reinstalling yours right now.
That is so wonderful! I LOVED reading this :)
I'm with Alex on this one. What an amazingly miraculous summer you've had. Thank you for sharing your miracles with us.
It's only just begun!
(Do not send that Carpenter song to me, Siv. I hate it. ;0))

That's such a wonderful thing about your son. I, too, have a child I lost right after birth. I was forced to give her up for adoption. I love that we now have a relationship of sorts. We email each other at times and keep up daily via Facebook. She just turned 27 last Friday and, as I've done for the last 7 years, I got to wish her a happy birthday. Enjoy your new relationship for what it is, a true blessing.
