About a year and a half ago, mama started to tell Mimi about how she came into our family. Now and then she will ask questions or wants to hear the story about how we went to China to get her especially at this time when she already knows that she and her friend Naomi and Naomi's family all are going to China for our next chili pepper. So no matter what I am doing, I stop and sit down with Mimi and we talk.
As papa always says "Mama always embellish her stories". Well maybe I do but I feel they need to be a little interesting to hear. Therefore Mimi always enjoys listening to my story of how we prayed hard for a little girl. Then we met "Uncle Norman" and he picked just the right girl for us. We then got on a big bird (airplane) and flew all the way to China to get her. The story goes on and on. Mimi now calls her foster mother her "China Mom' and I am her "Real Mom". She also wants to know why we did not get her mei mei at the same time we got her. That's another story for another day.
