Hi Oshiro and all so many more, Hey,Oshiro,that is precisely how I feel,too!LOL Anxious,amused,surprised,sad,thrilled,disappointed,(because someone didn't show up;))and so many other emotions,as wellLOL
To the amazement of so many adults and peers around me,I refused to call her Mom... Even though I heard evryone loudly urged me to change my mind as to please her and make her wish come true... I still didn't want to utter a word as simple as that:Mom! To make you understand my situation or my stubbornness better, I don't know if you remember I mentioned it when I first joined here that my parents wanted to put me up for adoption(ealier than that day or later in the years I can't remember now.:() I was the 3rd daughter they had and what they really wanted was another son... There's another story,but I am running out of time to tell you now!:( Let me give you a rain check,OK? But I need you to promise me that you,Briana and Ed will take care of all other members while I'm gone,PLEASE!!!:) Take care,everyone! See you soon next week!!!
