Here is my precious little ladybug in the garden this week...
And here she was two years ago today being placed in my arms after what seemed like an eternal wait (and of course, I now feel so lucky to have brought her home so soon).
There are no words to describe just exactly what I felt when I held her that day... but I can tell you that it was so surreal and every bit as miraculous as the moment my newborns were placed in my arms after their births. This child grew not in my womb, but in my heart and the labor pains were every bit as painful each time and the joy every bit as momentous!
Today, I think so much of her birthmother and wonder if she is thinking of her tiny baby and wondering if she is loved and cherished and cared for. I know somewhere in the back of my mind that she absolutely knows that our daughter is greatly loved and is someone special to so many. A thread will always connect us all... and I pray that Sophie will grow up knowing that her birthmother gave her the gift of life and her mommy received the gift of watching her grow up and helping her become all that her mothers dreamed of.
I LOVE YOU, MY BABY SOPHIE~BUG!!! I am so happy that we are together for FOREVER!!
We are spending this special anniversary traveling to Atlanta for Guatoberfest. I will not be able to link your FFF pictures here until my return Sunday night. I promise to take tons of pictures and share them when I get back.
