18

Yeah, Brooke is 18 now. Are we any closer to bringing her home? Not that I know of. Maybe someone knows something I don't. At this point, having our daughter back home would the Christmas present of a lifetime! We miss our girl so much. Her birthday came and went with no news as to if they will let her return now or not. We have sent emails and letters and lately a picture of us. We want them to see us as real people. Real people, a real family, missing a vital part of the puzzle. Missing a family member.

I guess Brooke is ok. We haven't heard much lately. It sure beats going months upon months and not hearing anything at all. That happened last year and nearly drove me nuts!

Brooke....where are you and what are you doing right this moment? Do you think of us? We miss you and we think of you every single day. Not a day goes by we don't think of you and wish you were back here with us. We know one day we'll be a whole family again....but my patience wears thin lately.
