holding our breath...

our daughter turns 21 tomorrow and just like we were 21 years ago, we are holding our breath...20th March 1989 changed our lives forever. We thank God every day for our beautiful daughter who has brought us incredible joy and pride. We love her and thank God for her very precious life.

the latest from virginia reads thus...

"am very fine. by sunset today will be coming with good news that the shoes are released. Just be all ears. Am closing in.Love."

and so we wait...

Aussie possibilities...

Nephew #4 is finally walking but I am confined to crutches...we are so close to the release of the shoes but the challenges continue. Virginia doggedly refuses to give up on finding support for the clearance and transport of the shoes to the village despite the ongoing pressures and frustrating- now frightening at times- developments.

V has been thrilled to find the listening and supportive ear of an Aussie businessman with whom a number of meetings have been held and we wait with our fingers crossed and breath held. How wonderful it would be to have Aussie hearts and hands at the village joined with Virginia when the shoes finally reach their destination.
