Happy Mother's Day!

As my time to get AP draws near, I am just feeling SO BLESSED! Blessed to have her, blessed to have my entire family and friends, and blessed to have all of you. Of course, I wish she was here with me, but Mother's Day is about the heart. She is my daughter, and she is always with me. I don't feel any less her mother just because we can't be together on the actual day. If you think about it, every day is really Mother's Day! Terri is the adoption coordinator for Guatemala at our agency. She wrote this poem and emailed it to all of her waiting families. I asked her permission to share it with you all. It is so beautiful, and I know you will enjoy it.

Happy Mother’s Day To My Special Mommy
As I Wait For You

A little angel came to me,
Fluttered to my bed.
She traveled straight from God’s own heart
And this is what she said.
“A love that knows no limits
Is just about to start.
Feelings you have never felt
Will surely fill your heart.
She said your name is Mommy
You’re as loving as can be.
Your hands are soft and gentle
Longing to hold me.
To watch me grow from day to day
To catch me when I fall.
To make me laugh and watch me play,
To answer when I call.”
I’m so glad God made you,
He knew right from the start.
Love for you, He has engraved
In the corners of my heart.
I cannot wait to see you,
And feel your loving touch.
This Mother’s Day is special
Because I love you very much.
