D-Day

Tuesday (3-5-13) This morning, Momma A woke me up at 4:45am because I wanted to go to her Plasma appointment with her at 5:15am. We got dressed and left. Turned out she had to reschedule for later that day because they couldn't verify some of her information until later. So I had woken up at the ass crack of dawn for no reason. When we had left the house that morning however, Momma A was walking down our front steps and slipped on some ice on the bottom step. She kept saying it hurt really bad but we wrote it off as she had twinged or pinched a nerve for a little bit. Until it started to get worse... she works at a clinic soo she decided to go in early and have it X-Rayed before work, turns out she had actually broked her leg when she fell. :/. Awesome way to start the day no? I felt so bad for her, and was mad that I had to leave and wouldn't be able to help out until she was all mended. After she had gone to work, It was time for me to go meet my older sister Kim for breakfast at a restaurant next to the airport so I could just head out when I needed to. Jaren took me so we met up with Kim, her husband TJ, and my Niece and Nephew and talked, took pictures and ate a little until it was time for me to leave. We said our goodbyes and it was hard (have i mentioned I don't do well with goodbyes?). Jaren drove me to the airport. He got out, came over and gave me a big hug and that was it. He drove away and I was back on my own, fighting my way through the crowd at the airport. I got through security just fine, boarded my plane. I had a Layover in Denver, Colorado, then boarded my last plane back to Milwaukee. I had been nervous about the last flight because they were having a storm right over Wisconsin when I was supposed to be flying in. The plane landed safely at 6:00pm and I got off. I text Derrick who was supposed to be there to pick me up, he called me and told me that they were stuck in a city 1 hour away(nice weather) because the roads were so bad. So I was stranded. he eventually text me to tell me that they were going to slowly start making their way toward me again so I didn't need to get a hotel for the night. I was starving by that point so I decided to stop at a 'Chilis Too' they had at the airport to get food and kill some time. It was actually really good haha. I got done with that and went out into the main part of the airport. I sat down and only then realized how utterly exhausted I was. I kept falling asleep in my chair and jerking awake everytime an airport announcement came over the intercom. Just after 9pm, Derrick text me saying they were just about to get to the airport so I headed outside and was so relieved to see their car pull up. I got in and we headed out only to determine the roads were too dangerous so we went to his sisters, who lives in Milwaukee thank goodness, and spent the night until we made it home early the next morning. This vacation was the most amazing experience. I will never forget how it felt to meet my birthmom after 21 years of not knowing. Thank you to everyone who helped make this entire thing happen. Without you I could still have been sitting here wondering who she was. You made it possible to find a whole new family that I can't wait to get to know more and more. I love you all so much. Thank you for following my story and for all the warm thoughts and messages. It really does mean the world to me. I wish you all the best :) Love, Tyler
