LIFE'S QUESTIONS

Since Mimi was around 5 years of age was when she started to ask questions. At first it was simple ones like "Where in China, did I come from?" Now the questions are coming at me more frequently. I think that it is due to the fact that we are planning to take Mimi with us when it is our time to go. Her latest question a couple of weeks ago was "How come my mom didn't want me anymore?" I could have cried right then and there. Last week it was with tears in her eyes "Why did my mom give me up?". We were in the restaurant at lunchtime and there was a bunch of ladies at our nearby table watching us as to what was going on. I just smiled, hugged Mimi tightly and answered her in a soft voice to the best of my knowledge. This morning at breakfast she says that it is her goal to "find her birth mom". She says that she wants to see her hometown again. So tonight we had a small discussion about how she came to us and our upcoming trip to China. In conclusion, this has been on hell of a month for me. Phew!
