6 months of waiting

The Finding Day Picture

Our Big Healthy Baby Girl 6 months later

Savannah-Hope,

My beautiful brown eyed baby girl ! I am in awe that it has been 6 months since the day you were brought into my heart. I loved you before i ever saw you but when I did see you oh my you were so beautiful,, a tiny little peanut that would forever change my heart and forever change us to a new family. I ached to hold from that very first moment and the ache still remains but oh how my heart is filled each time I hear your voice or get a new picture, you have learned so many new things and grown so big while we have waited for you and I am sad that I missed them but WE have many firsts to experience together yet because in a life time of forever there is so much to experience. I dream of your first airplane ride with you snuggled close as we come home to see you daddy,brothers and sisters oh how they long to love on you! Your first step, first mcdonald's french fry (which aunt shalon says she will be getting for you), your first birthday, your first tooth, the first time you say "mama" and " I love you", our first family dinner, our first trip to church, your first time at the park swinging and sliding, your first snow,your first swim (at aunt Gwen's), your first trip to the beach(with aunt chrissie), your first sleepover away from home(at mimi and poppy's) and your first piggy bank(from nana which will be papa's choo choo train), your first day at dance, your first day at school, your first crush, your first broken heart, the day you give your life to Jesus, the first time you share your testimony , the first time you drive, the first time you crash :) , the first time become a mom!! You see beautiful angel it is so hard to wait but 6 months fade away into the forever of life and I will be your mom until eternity and when I see you (my daughter)it is not now it is always. So I pray for Godspeed as I wait for the day I get my papers to come and get you forever rejoicing in the forevers that are to come and not dwelling on the missed things for God's timing is perfect. Today I choose to look forward and not backward today I will celebrate 6 months of the heartache that is waiting for you because without the wait there would be no you. Thank you God for September 1, 2007 for this is the day my heart become a mother once again beating in unison with the heartbeat of my child. My girl who is farther away than I can imagine or from home than I have ever been. Sweet angel there are so many people here to love you and to be a part of your life, Daddy's already got your raider princess clothes ready! I pray God will continue to protect you and prepare your heart to come home as mine is ready to bring you home, and I pray you will not have any fear but peace in knowing how much I love you from the moment my eyes meet yours for the first time. Soon baby soon mama will there and I will never let you go!!

I love you,

mama
