Adoption

Ashley was there.  She brought a song into my heart.


She asked a favor that I was able to grant -- demonstrating mutual trust.  I was on my way to church, a congregation of friends who celebrate the opportunities that the United States provides to join with the whole wide world in service.

I was able to tell my new young friends how my grandfather helped to settle this valley as a US Territorial Marshal.  How proud I am of him and my grandmother who was the the only person he trusted at his back with a gun!
