I Pray for You

To my adopted child,

You aren't even in my life yet, but I pray for you.
I've never seen your face, yet I pray for you.
I don't know your name, still I pray for you.
My heart is preparing a place for you, come home soon.

Love,
Your Forever Mommy

Mother's Day

Generally I find Mother's Day to be a bother.  Not because I don't want to celebrate my Mom and Grandmother's...but because it reminds me that I am NOT a mother.   My BFF sent me such a sweet text message saying she wished me a Happy Mother-to-be Day, and my mom gave me a card wishing me a happy Mother-to-be Day as well.  And it is such a sweet thing to do, yet in many ways it just punctuates the thought that I don't have a child.

So I have decided that my first mother's day after we adopt I am having a HUGE party. It will be extravagant and everyone will have to come and deal with me gloating about finally being a mom.  :)  I think I will also post about it on Facebook until no one can stand me...haha take that Facebook!
