Yesterday was the day that JM and keepers traveled to meet Wolfbaby halfway between her home and our home.  First, we went into the restaurant and had a wonderful dinner while we chatted about everything under the sun. Then, we went outside to get some pictures for keepers to bring home and always remember how nice it was to actually meet this dear person we had met months ago through cyber space.  Wolf and keepers were sitting on the bench and JM was our photographer.  He swore he was getting pictures of our face but what came out were pictures of our feet.  The feel on the left are keepers and on the right is WOLFBABY.    We will always treasure this momento of us sitting on the bench together.

The picture above here is the next one JM took.  Thanks, Honey, for actually getting our faces in this.  Of course, the one in the white top is keepers (Actually, Polly is the one out in this photo) and the one in the grey shirt is Wolfbaby.  To be honest, keepers feel in love with Wolf’s T Shirt as it had a beautiful picture of a wolf on the front.  And you will notice that Wolf is good heartedly giving rabbit ears to Polly as JM shoots the picture.  These are the kinds of little things that made our afternoon with Wolfbaby so much fun for JM and keepers.

But, the very best part of this picture, is the smile on Wolfbaby’s face.  She says she hates her smile but it was one of the things keepers loved about her.  We could tell that she smiles from her heart and that she has one of those smiles that just simply lights up the world.  Ten years from now, if someone asks us what we remember about the day keepers met Wolfbaby, we will surely say that keepers remember her beautiful smile

The guy in the above picture is none other than our JM.  The lovely lady is, of course, Wolfbaby.  Keepers were glad because they seemed to have a good time together as well.  Of course, I can not speak for Wolf, but keepers and JM are soooooooooo glad that we drove the distance and got the chance to meet the person we consider to be our cyber daughter.

To be honest, meeting someone new is something keepers would have never done as recently as a year ago.  All of our lives, keepers have always drawn far away from new situations and new people.  So, the just the fact that keepers were able to show up for our first meeting with Wolfbaby tells us that we really have come a very long way and that we do not have to live in deep seclusion any more.  Keepers have finally learned that our family may judge and reject keepers but there are people out there in the world who are willing to be our friends and to allow us the freedom to be ourselves.  For us, this is a huge thing to realize since there has never been a moment when keepers thought our having friends or chosen family would ever be possible for any of us.

Wolfbaby was, admittedly, very nervous meeting keepers.  Keepers were extremely nervous meeting W0lf.  But, from our perspectives, our afternoon together went very well and showed keepers how good it feels to go out to dinner with a dear friend.  As the afternoon wore into evening, keepers became more comfortable being there.  And as we said goodbye, keepers felt very thankful that Wolf has come into our lives.  Then, on our two hour ride home, keepers enjoyed allowing yesterday to become a sweet and wonderful memory in keepers minds.  Yesterday will be one of those happy memories that keepers will always treasure.

peace and blessings,

keepers
