curlygirly,
Honey, this is a stressful week but I assure you that life in a sorority does not consist of skits and cheers and five minute conversations every day. Nobody could live like that.
Listen, this is about finding a home, that's why we keep stressing that women keep an open mind and heart. The women who have been through this on both sides know that the decorations get taken down and then the real work of being a family begins.
Just to let you know, this is what its like to be an ADPi for me this week.
One of my sister's father is sick and she's home and very far away, we are all sending her little encouraging emails every day so she knows we are with her.
My other sister goes in for surgery Monday and all of us (other ADPis) have taken a "time slot" to go and spend time with her and make sure she's never alone while she recovers.
I just celebrated two sister's "big birthdays" this week, and was there to help them face the fear that these milestones bring up.
Tomorrow I'm going to pick up my bridesmaid dress of my sister who is getting married in a few weeks.
So, that's what it's like being a sorority alumnae this week for me.
(I can't tell you all that it has been in my life, that would take too long and my posts are growing in length each and every day!
)
But its very much like this I would say, for all the other women posting on the board. That's why we are so thrilled to read of other women entering into this experience.
At any rate, that's my two cents, I hope its worth at least that much.
So take a deep breath and see what these houses have to offer. As my big sister still says, "Breathe out with Fear and in with God."
God luck curlygirly, I know you're going to find the right place.
P.S. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to see how much I have to be grateful for! It's been really good for me to write this post, I am a fortunate woman.
