I am having trouble going to sleep lately thinking about the changes about to happen in the Hartzog household. But more about the unbelievable changes about to happen in Deniss' life. He has never really known what a loving family is like. Since he was 5 years old, he has never had his own room, never had a pet, never had much that was really his own. Yes - things are not the most important aspect of life but they are on the list! He has never had parents that worry about how he is doing in school, or who have been there to cheer him on in a sports activity. He has never had a family that just enjoys him being in the room. He has never had a family that gave him hugs for no particular reason. Wow - this next year will be overwhelming I am sure.
Thinking about all of these changes for Deniss have made me stop to look at the things in my life that are so easy to take for granted! It really makes me appreciate the fact that I was adopted as an infant and was blessed with a wonderful loving set of parents and a sister - as well as lots of extended family and friends. It makes me think back to lots of carefree childhood days. I have always appreciated the fact that my life has been blessed, but I am beginning to appreciate it all the more.
Just think, Deniss is starting the last three weekends of his life without a family close by. He has two more weeks alone, and then we will finally all be together!
Enough rambling - good night.
