Heart HAPPY 3rd BDAY, A*!!!!

had to post today....it's A's 3rd bday. I am hurting and aching for this lil guy to come home and this nightmare to just be BEHIND us. I don't know how other families continue for so long, but you inspire & encourage me.
Please take a look at the sweet faces of A, and say a prayer that his next bday will be HOME with us,
Feliz Cumpleanos, mijo. Te amo
:

"Half a world away
Sometimes it seems we're so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of the heart
My little one, my precious joy
I'm waiting for you
My precious son, my little boy
I know you're waiting too

Half a world away
A child waits for a family of his own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring him home

My little one, my precious joy
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious son, my baby boy
I hope to soon be there

Half a world away
So many miles to bring you home at last
And half a world away
So many months of waiting are past.

My little one, my precious joy
You're fin'ly home to stay
My precious son, my little boy
We celebrate this day...

Knowing we will no longer be
half a world away."

So sorry you're spending yet another birthday apart. He is adorable and I will keep him in my prayers. The wait is unbearable and our faith and our friends are what's getting us through. I'll pray for a peace in your heart while you wait.
Love to you.
