Well, we have the actual plane tickets now. I had to give up on my do it yourself job and go to a travel agent. It took three different tickets each, including for Deniss only going one way, to get us around Europe to all of the stops we need to make. And boy is it expensive! Thank heavens this is a once in a lifetime event! That makes it a lot easier to swallow. And of course getting Deniss home to stay is the big prize!
Even Aaron is getting to be excited. For a long time now he just said it didn't seem real. He hasn't seen Deniss since last August when he left America. And of course, Aaron has that 13 year old "I don't care" attitude most of the time. It reminds me of the cruise commercial running where they say they have seen their daughter smile which is a rare occurance. Well, Aaron has started to smile on occasion.
Yesterday was Deniss' birthday. Of course - we couldn't get him on the phone as usual. It has become increasingly difficult to get through to the office at the children's home. It was terribly frustrating not to be able to say Happy Birthday to him on that day. Thank heavens that will be the last time - at least for this reason. As of now, we will have no more birthdays, Mother's Day's or other holidays where he cannot be with us. (Except of course the reasons that start getting in the way when kids are grown and move away). Aaron and I will both celebrate our birthdays this year in Latvia with Deniss. Ken will get this next Father's day with at least two of his sons with him. (Bobby won't be with us because we will see him soon after on vacation.)
This is getting really exciting for all of us now!
