I know that you all have been praying for my adoption, so asking for prayer is a bit repetitious, I feel. However, I am going to ask for prayer. I need details about my boy tomorrow. I for sure want them for my mother's heart that is longing to "know" my son. But I need them for a plane ticket. I know, that sounds dumb, but it is true. My parents take us to Cabo every Christmas and they are trying to book our tickets. It is expensive for them to take the entire family and I am so thankful that they do it. Well, there are FANTASTIC tickets from Durango to Cabo and we need to purchase them by Tuesday. And I cannot purchase a ticket for my son without a name. And since it is international travel, I need the name that will be on his Rwandan passport. So, I need to know who my boy is. I feel like such a spoiled bratt praying for a name so that I can go to Cabo. . . .I know, it sounds terrible, but that is what is going on right now. So, please pray that I can get a name soon. Thank you.

So there is a weird layer of loosing someone I hardly knew and I feel like that is the layer that makes the most sense to everyone. While the family was mourning, I was the one organizing all of the meals coming in from our wonderful friends and neighbors, I was cleaning up one meal and setting up for the next. I was keeping the house in order and making sure Marc was able to surround himself with the friends and family he needed to make it through the
