A Year Ago

My sweet Piper,

Has it been a year already since I have seen

your precious face and  felt the nudging in

my heart from His Holy Spirit? Everyday

I am drawn back to your picture as I pray for 

you and His will in our lives.

I knew from the moment I saw you that you

were a gift from our Father above, 

our beautiful daughter.

You see, a year earlier your dad, little sister

and I were all swimming and I saw four

beautiful butterflies fluttering and dancing

all around us as we were in the pool. 

I knew right then that our family wasn't 

complete, we had another daughter waiting

in China. His hands would guide the way and

open the doors to His precious child that He

alone had chosen for us.

So, my sweet precious girl, please know we

haven't forgotten you. We are busy working

our way to you. I pray that you feel our Father's

loving arms around you as He comforts you

and fills you with His peace that surpasses 

all understanding. I found this poem that 

says it all so well........

Kisses in the wind, I hold you in my heart and 

touch you in my dreams. You are here each day

with me, at least that's how it seems.  I know you

wonder where we are...... What's taking us so long?

But remember, child, I 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, I blow you kisses in 

the wind. May God hold you in His hand 

until I can be with you. I promise you, 

my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, 

not just pretend. But for tonight, just as always,

I 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 I send to you each night.
