Dreams, Tears, and Kisses



I'm famous for saying, "I don't produce tears"...but come to find out...I do. Maybe a part of this wait has been to soften my heart and let my walls crumble in preparation for giving all of me to my daughter.

KISSES IN THE WIND
(for our daughter in China)

We hold you in our hearts
and touch you in our dreams.
You are here each day with us,
at least that's how it seems.

We know you wonder where we are...
what's taking us so long.
But remember child,
We love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze
and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always,
We blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand
until We can be with you.
We promise you, our darling,
We're doing all that We can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family
for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always,
We blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms
and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses
that We send to you each night.

Your voice said it all last night. As we rejoiced over the news of our referral I could sense your pain. My heart was breaking for you...it still is. I haven't stopped thinking about you, Dan and Lauren for a minute. None of us have. We are standing right by your side through this MOST DIFFICULT moment.

Let the tears flow....they clear the way for love to grow!!!

Like Mary said...my heart is just breaking for you guys too. You, Dan and Lauren have been in my constant prayers. Do let those tears out, it is well deserved. If there is anything you need...let us know.

I meant to tell you earlier that you have been on my mind. A lot. Andrew and I are praying for your family to be united soon... I know that the pain from this extra waiting is probably unbearable at times. I wish I could do something.... anything....

We too are with you. I know we are not present in body, but we are with you. If you ever just want to talk for no reason... or cry or whatever... you have my number. I am here for you.

Steph.

I am famous for always being able to say something to lighten the mood. I have read your post over and over & I have nothing to say. If Jesus can cry, so can you.
