A lot to digest

We met our birth mother for the first time today. I think we were all nervous and anxious and just overwhelmed. But we hugged and smiled and had a few laughs here and there. Almost need to sit back and reflect some more before writing more about it....but my favorite moment of the day was when C (our birth mother) said thank you in response to furniture and items we brought to her and bought for her, Walter's immediate response without hesitation was, "you're family, that's what we do for family." That totally warmed my heart and sent goosebumps down my arms.
