Bon Voyage

I'm headed to the airport in a few hours. I'm just sitting at home with TT while she takes a little nap. Then T will be getting home, and he and TT will be taking me to the airport.

It's hard to believe how long I've been waiting for this day.

It's also hard to believe how I can be feeling such torn emotions at the very same time. EXCITED to finally be meeting and taking physical custody of my son. SAD to be leaving my baby girl in just a few short hours.

I hope I'll be able to update in Ethiopia. Until we meet again. :)


The Gift of Life
I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it has been so.
For us to have each other
is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you
The Gift of Life,
Life gave me the gift of you.

I read this post last night just after singing out of my blog, and my eyes were so tired, I couldn't log back in to comment. lol

I am so glad you made it to your first stop okay. I thought about you all day today, and I can't wait for you to finally, FINALLY meet your son tomorrow!

Best wishes!!!
