I have been a mess of emotions lately. Quite similar to how I felt at the end of each pregnancy. I am so excited to be meeting Cadence! I want to know what she looks like, what she likes to eat, how her laugh sounds. I want to know what makes her happy & laugh, how to comfort her when she cries, the sound of her breath as she sleeps. I know these next 2 weeks will fly by with all that needs to be done, but on the other hand they feel like the longest 2 weeks of my life! Again, quite similar to how I felt at the end of each pregnancy. I love this little girl who, right now, is on the other side of the world, asleep in her crib. I can't believe she will soon be in our arms! I found this poem on another blog... it's short but says so much.
The Gift of Life
I didn't give you the gift of life,
but in my heart I know
The love I feel is deep and real,
as if it had been so.
For us to have each other
is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you the gift of life
Life gave me the gift of you.
