Hope and Resignation
Still no word. While I have a glimmer of hope in the back of my head that Easter might bring some acknowledgement, I am sort of settling into resignation that if I didn't hear right away it probably means she is not ready and I won't hear for months or years.

it might also mean she did not get the letter, or that she no longer lives there, or a million other things.
when i wrote my daughter, she did not respond. turns out she did not get the letter for weeks. her amom took it and kept it from her.
you never know.
I just wanted you to know that my thoughts are with you. I will keep checking in.
Try not to second guess. You are doing right by your daughter and if it is meant to be it will be. Even though I have a hard time following that advice myself!
How's your daughter doing? Did she have a nice Easter?
Thanks for the support guys.
I think maybe she did get it, but it may take some time for her to decide what she wants to say in response. I could understand not wanting to dash off just anything that might be the first response her daughter hears from her.
I don't want to try again because I don't want to "stalk" her and I did say in my note if it wasn't the right time we wouldn't intrude. I will just wait. When BJ starts asking about it when she is a bit older as I am sure she will, we may consider using an intermediary at that time. In the mean time I am coming to peace with the fact that this is L and BJs need not mine. If she didn't get the note, it wasn't meant to be and if she did, she is entitled to all the time she needs.
It does help reading all of your stories and experiences. I think about L or BJ in your place and wonder what their experience and take on things will be. All I can do is keep loving and praying for both of them and raise BJ to embrace all of who she is. That part is not so hard,
