Suitcases
packed. Bills paid. Wonderful pet sitter ready to take care of
Lakota and the kitties. A list a mile
long checked off and then double checked for good measure.
A
few months ago I thought I would be getting on the plane kicking and screaming
because not everything got done. Almost everything got done, and I
realize now that the few things that didn’t get done just have to wait. They’re not that important.
What
is important is that in 12 hours, we’ll be getting ready to leave for the
airport for a flight to the Philippines that at one point I never thought would
happen. We’ve received an outpouring of
love and support through our journey, and especially through the last few
months and weeks as we have waited to travel to bring Francis home. The time has finally come, and we are so
ready, and so eternally grateful for all of you who have been there for us. Tonight as I write this, I’m also thinking
about all of my blogging friends who still wait for their referrals, or who
deal with painful adoption loss. You are
in my heart and my prayers.
I
do plan on blogging while we’re in the Philippines, so please check in every
once in a while!
Time
Is love, gotta run,
Love to hang longer,
But I got someone who waits,
Waits for me and right now
[He]'s where I need to be,
Time is love, gotta run.
Gotta fly
Fly
Before one more moment
