Life passes by us so quickly, in a blink of my eyes it felt like my childhood didn't really existed until today that memory just flash back all because I met a boy named Jordan.. It's a Saturday night my family and I are having supper at China kitchen.. Jordan is full of energy who couldn't stop talking without a breath it seems like. Don't get me wrong he reminded me when I was his age and so childlike. As of now he might feel like everything is taken away from him that he's familiar with but along the way he will understand his future is much brighter then he can imagine. I personally been through what's he experience it's difficult but the one advantage I had was both of my sisters came from the same orphanage as me. My life has been truly blessed and am so thankful for everyone in my life. To me life is not a walk in the park on a sunny day but rather once awhile the rain pours and the storms follows. At the orphanage I accepted everyone as my family no matters ifs its a cloudy day they somehow make my life seem so bright for that I am so grateful of my blessings in life. When months flew by and in June of 1999 a baby girl name Lu quan(Katie) who got adopted I was sad cause she's a cute baby who I took care of and play with. When John and Jan got ready to get on the bus to leave from the orphanage forever I started crying knowing I won't see her anymore..the following next year in 2001 of July my good friend Guo Dan got adopted by the same couple I was very upset. As this point I felt like losing everyone that I truly cared about.. So at night before I fall asleep I will ask please will I see them again? Will I be the girl that one day have parents who loves me? I guess at this point I just didn't think that God had a plan for me also, until a few months later I got a letter from John&jan saying they wanted to adopt me.. Which I was very happy about this letter which I didn't understand at the time.. May 8th 2001. Finally come and I got adopted by the same family.. Coming to America and get on a plane for first time was scary but seeing Guodan at the airport in America kind of make my fears disappear.. But sadly the first Chinese word came out of my mouth was PIG in Chinese to GUODAN that's very rude of me..believe me she wasn't happy with me. So hate to cut this story short..
I just want to say miracles happens in life it might take patience but in the end it's worth all the money in the world..maybe one day I will found the courage to drive a car and start my next journey.
For now thanks for anyone that's reading this miracle of my, it means u cared for that I am a very lucky lady whom at this time is trying to figure out life...Enjoy your Thursday!!!
