Countdown ... 1 (Christmas Day)

Grammy, Mom and baby J had a good time on our last visit to Baby House No. 2 - for this trip. We played all our usual games, smiled, drooled and watched the other family across the room. An extra special day, because we don't know when we'll be together again.

I can't express how hard it was to leave her there, but I know she's well cared for and treated with affection : ) Here is a poem (or song lyrics?) I found on an adoption site. When I find out who to attribute it to, I'll add that to the post.


Kisses in the Wind
I hold you in my heart and in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are. It's been so long.
Just remember, child, that God will keep you strong.

Now go outside, feel the breeze and let it touch your skin.
Soon you'll have a family, I promise you again.
Miles away we wait for you, but it's coming to an end.
But for tonight, just as always, I'll blow you kisses in the wind.
Kisses in the wind, kisses in the wind, kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hands until we get to you.
I promise you that we will see you soon.
May He wrap you in His arms and hold you tight,
and let the Angels bring our kisses every night.

Now go outside, feel the breeze and let it touch your skin.
Soon you'll have a family, I promise you again.
Miles away we wait for you, but it's coming to an end.
But for tonight, just as always, I'll blow you kisses in the wind.
Kisses in the wind, kisses in the wind, kisses in the wind.
