i didn't get an update last year at birthday time. i staked out the mailbox until about April, waiting. i've had two sets of quick correspondence with Betty in the past 18 months or so, and no mention of an "official" update. what i really want are pictures - the ones i have are 2+ years old.
am i counting on it? not so much. one thing i've really learned in the past 4 years or so is about expectations, getting one's hopes up. the emotional wreckage in the wake of disappointment is simply too much. i can't afford to keep going there.
but i'll write another letter to the Kiddo, and file it away faithfully in the box i've been keeping, should he want them someday. there will now be 11 birthday letters, 11 envelopes of legal tablet thoughts & good wishes, of questions & answers.
11 has always been my favorite number.

11 is my favorite number too, and 2+ years is a LONG time. I hope you get something better soon.
I'm hoping along with you. I agree with Thorn, too--2+ years is a really long time.
Yes. Keep writing those letters. I'd bet a million bucks he will want them when he is the one calling the shots.
Lucky 11. Bless that kiddo. And believe that someday...
