This weekend I flew to NYC with my parents to celebrate a recognition my younger brother received. Although he lives in Atlanta, he entered an international architecture exhibition. His work was selected for display among a prestigous group of architects from around the world. We were all incredibly proud. It also provided a great reason for a trip to NY!
In addition to attending the architecture reception, we visited Ground Zero. Every time I go there I am further moved by the strength and resillience of the city and its citizens. It makes my self-pity for the "wait" seem trivial.
But, as so many of us do during the wait...I shopped. A trip to FAO Schwartz was essential. I purchased a first toy for our little girl. I bought a small, soft-sided photo album that matches the sweet toy. My hope would be that she would get the album during her last few weeks in the orphanage and then get the toy with us.
Everything is still in a dream place right now, but it's good enough for me.
