Thanksgiving Day 2008

Hope Anand had a good Thanksgiving Day. Though neither of us has a reason to be thankful today, both Anand and I are optimistic enough to hope for and look forward to better times ahead.

Till then, I hope he remembers that his father loves him as much as ever.

The drama drags on

The latest update from Department of State is that they were told, by the same member of Anand's mother's family, that Anand and his mother are now in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India. Once again requests for their address and phone number were refused. That is the second acknowledged move in just the past 2 months. And my son is all of 3 years old.

He was due for a follow-up dental appointment 3/4 weeks ago. No word on if it happened or how it went. In another 5 weeks, he will be due for his follow-up appointment with his Allergist. Not sure it that will happen either.

109 days and counting

It is now 109 days since I and my little angel have had any contact with each other. Currently, I do not even know where he is in India. It has been more than 3 months since I have had an update on his health and well-being. I do not know how tall he is or how much he weighs now.

As much as I believe in God, I have been tempted more than once in the past 2 months to doubt his/her existence. If there truly is God, how long does he/she want me and my son to go through this ordeal? Haven't we both endured enough?
