And once our Adoptees go home then continued contact can only occur if the Adoptee instigates it (could be emails or facebook friending etc).
I am blessed that a good many of my past Adoptees have kept in touch (it gives me a Happy feeling to be able to know they (and their families) are safe and well).
But sometimes I think I need to get this tshirt and wear it around...
I'm the cute Fuzzy one of course :D You can buy these HERE |
To all my friends - past and present Troop adoptees and just those souls I've blundered across over the interwebs - My Promise is this.
Should you need me - my shoulder to cry on - my ear to tell woes to - my heart to send you love - then I will be here. (of course you may have to sit through a few recitations on how Star Trek is better than Star Wars and other geeky topics but that's worth it - don't you think? :D)
Didymus: And remember, fair maiden, should you need us...
Hoggle: Yes, should you need us, for any reason at all...
Sarah: I need you, Hoggle.
Hoggle: You do?
Sarah: [nods] I don't know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. All of you.
Hoggle: You do? Well... WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?
[she spins around and sees them all in her room, including the goblins. She hugs them all, and a huge party begins]
