Shepherd meets his Gigi The Spirit of Adoption
Long time no see. Maybe one day I’ll become a better blogger. But on this good Friday, my heart is full and I have to spill some of it. My family and I just got back from DFW International Airport where we welcomed my son-in-law, daughter, and brand new adopted grandson home.

‘Tis the season to be jolly… or is it?
