I had just jumped from India to Korea, then back to India again. But those thirty days of January 2007 in Seoul were some of the most possible days of my life.
There are stories behind every one of these photos, full of delicious "wow" moments where Lumina and I just looked at each other, beaming, and said, "Ok...so this is today..."
I've made a habit out of possible. I surround myself with possible people. And yet, even I get surprised how good possible really can get...
Tonight I am reminiscing.

I remember that month. I was so envious of you two and so full of admiration. I remember thinking that I had possibly shortchanged myself by not creating the possibility that my girls could be with me for the birth of Seville -- something I really wanted. In the end, of course, she was born 3 weeks early via emergency c-section (1 year ago Thursday!!), so I wouldn't have had the amazing women's laboring birthing moment I hoped anyway. Maybe it was meant to be. But I also learned something about assuming what is possible and what isn't, without even asking those involved.
It is nice to have happy memories. Mine from a year ago are a mixture of dark pain that I never want to go back to again and on the same side, sweet promises that even in the midst of the darkness that there will be light. One year later, I see that there is much light in my life. My world isn't perfect yet. But over the past year I have seen miracles. I have received answers, and there is much to rejoice about. One year ago my ex wife had plots against me, even though she had the kids. This year, I don't know if the plots have changed, but I have the kids. I also have the same promises from Heavenly Father that I'm banking on . Last year I didn't know you, but now I can say that even though knowing you has been hard, it has been worth it.
Have a good one!
ah! yes! you two girls!!! i love you both! SOOOOO possible!
:)

"Oooh La La!"
