Little Walking Mountain Sister

9 May 2008. met my biological brother when i was buying vegan cookies from "Oh Happy Days," the store where he works. Found out no letter was received, even though i sent it.  I have a brother; Cody. we have the same eyes. I have an older brother named Zack. Another one named Elie, and yes, I have a sister.  Her name is Sadie. My Indian name, from Ralph, Cody and I's father, is Little Walking Mountain Sister. Cody's Indian name is Desert Walking Summer Shower.  I am that much cooler simply due to that fact. 

10 May 2008. Cody called to give me the digits of my new family.  I coerced him into stopping by my work, he brought a little lady named Made-E-lion who happened to be the woman who carried me in her womb for a while.  She's adorable.  We necklace swapped and story dropped for an almost two hours.  It was Mexican Mothers Day.  Fortuitous.  

11 May 2008. breathed deep. felt at peace, more than in a long time.

12 May 2008. decided i should tell a boy i liked him, for serious this time. instead i asked how his heart was with his past relationship. that was a great idea... it'll be a while before we talk about anything i think. but maybe not. 

13 May 2008. Woke up 30 minutes ago. right on schedule. Planning on getting rid of my alarm if this keeps happening. 

Good morning Jesus, thank you for this love.  Thank you for this life.

Wow! :) I was so encouraged to see your mom after hearing your story. She seems to be a wealth of knowledge about a number of random different things as well. :)
