Tamana, Kumamoto

Every once in a while I check out the little feedgit thing at the bottom of the page, just to see what's going on.  I know there are people who stop by who don't follow.  Maybe they googled something or just happened upon our little story here. 

As I read down the list:  Shawnee, Kansas--big Hi to Shawnee.  My step son goes on a retreat there every year,

Maryland--that's my mama, she's always been my biggest fan : ),

 New Jersey,

Tamana, Kumamoto........... 

So my first reaction is "Where is that?" Looks Asian of some sort, right?  So I do what every geographically ignorant person does.  I google it.  And it turns out, Tamana, Kumamoto is in Japan.  So how cool is that?

Now the possibility of someone being bored out of their mind, sitting around googling random things and plopping on our little blog here for like a half a second before surfing to the next place, I realize are pretty great.

But who knows, maybe, just maybe there is someone in Japan, who just found out the baby they carry inside them has Down syndrome, and they are wrestling with the ideas of adoption, abortion, or parenting.  Maybe our little speck of sand on the shores this vast and abounding thing we call the Internet can be a light to someone. 

Maybe stopping by our tiny corner of the world here will give someone Hope.  Confidence.  Acceptance.  Or just encouragement that they are not alone.  I hope it does.

Whatever the reason was Tamana, Kumamoto, I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Piracicaba, Sao Paulo and Bursa and Caldas Da Rainha and London and Melbourne, Victoria and Linda-a-velha, Lisboa and Damascus, Dimashq.  Thanks for visiting : )
