Do you remember?

What do you remember? People are always amazed when I start to recall my earliest memories. Like this picture of me I was just a little bit older then Tamara is now. I can remember being on the balcony in Rijeka Croatia .. finding tiny little round pebbles in Mom's rose plant behind me and putting them in my pocket. In fact I was frustrated in this picture because I decided it wasn't the best place for them and I couldn't get them out again.

An email I received from our agency got me thinking today. What will Tamara remember? I was told the facilitator stopped by her foster home to see how she was doing and she found Tamara outside playing with her friends. Chatting away? That was great news as we arranged to have their best speech therapist work with her the last few months. It worked ;o) now if she could only speak English. lol. The weather in Georgia has been wonderful lately so I was happy to hear she was able to enjoy it. And thrilled that she was having a good time and I may regret saying this in 6 months or so but yes happy she is chatting away.

Will she remember playing with her friends? Will she remember pebbles in her pocket? Will she always wonder what happen to her friends? When I was her age I had a best friend Desi who lived across the street. Desi's dog had puppies. I can remember playing with them. I can remember Desi's Grandmother... she was nice to me. I can remember not wanting to go home when Mom called me cause we were having so much fun. I often wonder what happen to Desi? Mom thinks she moved to Switzerland? I wonder? I wonder if Desi remembers me?
