It arrived the first week of December.
A hand-me-down from a friend.
It was so nice of her to think of me.
And we both knew the timing was terrible but she was moving.
I had the option to say no but didn't.
And most of the time it doesn't bother me.
But when people come over I see the "hopefulness" in their eyes and I have to explain.
I have to explain that just because there is a bassinet in the dining room there is no baby news.
And then I make them laugh because the bassinet has become a wonderful filing cabinet and is overflowing with files and mailing supplies for Helpusadopt.org.
We share an awkward laugh knowing the reality of the situation.......
And I say a silent prayer that someday......hopefully soon.....it will hold a sleeping baby.
Love much,
xob
