A joyous day for me and my husband, but a shocker for our daughter Yuan Ru. We tell her of all the girls in our travel group, she didn't cry the loudest, but she cried the longest. What a shock to these little souls. In the end, it is all so good. <br />Robin in NYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988807768369392396.post-41207154405269039392010-06-09T13:38:16.904-07:002010-06-09T13:38:16.904-07:00Hard to read through all the tears!!! My thoughts...Hard to read through all the tears!!! My thoughts & feelings exactly!!! We are nearing our 1 year anniversary as well (July 26). I too, find it hard to celebrate openly the day my daughter's world fell apart as she knew it! I will always cherish that day, but I know how hard it was for her (she was very expressive through screaming, scratching, pulling hair, etc!). She is such a different little girl now! It took such a long time before she truly seemed happy. Thank you for continuing to share. Somehow, it helps to read these blogs when I'm having a rough day. I suddenly remember I'm not alone!Linda and Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894781019651209334noreply@blogger.com
