2 years ago...



It was 2 years ago when I walked into that hotel room and saw a stranger carry my daughter towards me. I am in awe of 'that moment' and the emotions that it stirs in me. I know my girl had a rough beginning and that was just the beginning of another journey to her new life. We have come so far that it sort of shocks me that it's only been 2 years. The connection with each one of my children is different in it's own right, but I admit, that our connection is much deeper on a very different level. Maybe because the depth of emotions felt came very quickly and cut right to the core of all of life's natural understandings. I am fiercly protective of her heart, though I'm learning to let her spread her wings now that she has the confidence to do so.

They always say you get matched with the perfect child for you and they weren't lying. I have no idea how they do it, but I do know there was never a little girl more fit to be my child. She is exactly who my soul longed for my entire life and I will spend the rest of my life thanking God for the journey and all the 2 million little things that led us to be together. I can't imagine my life without her.

This is exactly where I am now; and I find it so hard sometimes, but I know this is what is really best for her. Happy 2 year Family Day! Ours is in just a couple of months (so hard to believe!). I've loved watching EG blossom over the past 2 years! Her personality shines through in your posts. Thank you for giving us all a glimpse.....
