Heidi, I love you! I am blessed to wake beside you today and to share in this incredible life and journey with you. When I think of the past few years and our journey to bring our child home, there is one word that surpasses all the pain, the joy, the hope and longing... your love! So today I give the words from our good Lord found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud; is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Heidi, I know the wait is often painful and that you long to hold our child in your arms, but the way I see you hold them in your heart each day is an inspiration to my life. When I think of the love you have for our child... a child we haven't yet met... and to think of the incredible love they will have when they are physically here... it blows me away! I give this verse to you today to encourage you and bless you.
Heidi, today you are my hero! I love you and cherish you. Thank you for loving and caring for our babe the way you do. I am definitely a better person because of who you are and how you love. I know as each year has passed I say the same thing, but I will say it again... your Mothers Day is coming soon. Hang in there babe!
Love you!
