Its been another day of progress but a long day as everything seems to move slowly. Maybee I am being over anxious and its my problem. While Debbie was busy doing some paper work I had a little one on one time at the orphanage today. Nastia and I just play , she has tons of energy and loves to play hard. She isn't making much eye contact with me yet and I guess this is par for the course. You see she has some recolection of a mom, even though she hasn't seen her more than once or twice over the past couple of years. Amazingly she still speaks of her natural mom and wonders about her. Now on the other side of the coin there is no mention of a dad in the picture, so the director in her orphanage has become the only dad in a sense she knows. I must say this diregtor is a very special guy and loves these children very much. The problem for him is that there are approx. 176 chidren in the facility so he has a huge task along with the workers there. So you see along comes Randy Cook with a smile wanting to just be her dad overnight. Its simply not going to happen that way, I knew that before this began but I now realize It may take quite awile. Hey just realizing this is much of the battle but at the same time I've already fallen in love with her. I trust in time once we are back home it will be much better. You have no idea just how good it feels to be posting to you right now. As much as anything for me its just to be able to express how I'm feeling and as well to know that you my family and friends are all in our corner. We think we are on scedule but its still early in the game. Thanks for all the comments please keep them coming as they mean so much to us.
Will somebody at the dairy please say hello to Robin for me , tell him I'm thinking of him and hope he is feeling much better after the operation. As well I trust that Donnie is a grampa twice over by now, hope everyone is well. Give our best to Tara and family. As well would somebody please let me know who is playing in the superbowl as I have know clue. Anyway I'll say goodbye for now, take care all of you on the West side, as well to all my Tim Horton girls, I would do anything for a large double, double right now.Take care Patrick, Nathan, Vic, and all the rest of you. Thanks for keeping and eye on everything back home for us Mom and Dad. Miss you all very much, Randy
