Dear Lauren...



Lauren,
I just read over my last post and tears started streaming down my face when I read over your name. I notice I have put a brick wall up around my heart. I miss you and it hurts. The wait for you hurts and I want you to know I love you. When I am busy right now, I haven't forgotten about you. I pass your room each day and think of you. I sit at the computer that is in your playroom and think about you. I know this path to you, no matter how hard or how long, will be all worth it when I touch your face for the first time.

One day all this hurt and longing will be a distant blurp in time...and that first touch will wash it all away. ...praying for that day to come soon!

What a good way to put it, a brick wall over your heart. For protection. No kidding.

I loved your letter.

Oh how I wish I was having some coffee with you this morning! Like Steph said...this will be a blurp someday! HUGS!

I am crying over your post. It is ok to build those brick walls. "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" AND YOU are definitely are a wellspring of life.

Once logged in to China for Spicy Girl, we waited 11 months for a referral. I can't imagine waiting as long as you have. I know now that I will wait this long wait for our second daughter, but having my S.G. helps the wait be more tollerable. You are right, she is so worth the wait, and you'll forget some of the pain of waiting when you start life with her. I can't wait!!

Protection is a good thing for now.

Why can't they invent an emotional epideral?! Lauren is so blessed to have you as a mom. All your tears will be wiped away by her precious little hands and this wait will someday be a faint memory.

Hey guys,

I agree the wait is so
discouraging at times!
We continue to pray
that this process will
soon speed up.
Take care!

Mary Schneider said...

I love your letter to Lauren...it will be so important to our girls to know how much we thought of them during our wait.

This is my third attempt to post something to your blog...they just aren't showing up. I hope this works.

Roy and Lori said...

Hope you are having
a good week! Take
care!

Michelle said...

And it will all make sense then too. Bless you.

I am thinking of you and know the feeling of a brick wall. It is so nice to see you at work and know you know how this all feels sometimes. I feel like we have a understanding for each other with just a look. Sometimes its too hard to share such personal feelings at work but please know I pray for you and your husband along with us that the day will come for us both. Keep smiling.
