Holidays 2008

The holiday season is here - and while I celebrate the joy of the season, my heart aches for the children who should be here but who are not. For Tanner and Brooklyn who are celebrating with the One we honor and for my daughter who is half a world away. Tanner and Brookie know how much their family loves and misses them. But my daughter (as Tanner always said "my Chinese cousin") doesn't know yet that there is a huge loving family waiting for her. Lord, please let her know this time next year how much not only her mother, but her grandmother, her aunts, uncles, cousins and those other "aunties and uncles" who can't wait for her arrival love her.
