Happy Birthday, Abby!

This was a very happy and sad day for me. I am so thankful to have Abby here with us. It was awful last year not being able to celebrate her birthday with her. I loved getting the pictures of her eating cake off a chopstick though. I will cherish those pictures forever!

I pray for two people in China that I hope have peace with their decision to part with their daughter. I do hope it was a difficult decision because that would mean she was loved very much. If I could talk to them now, I would tell them how much we love Abby and how much she has changed our lives for the better. I would tell them we only want the very best for her and we will do anything and everything for her. I would want them to know she is happy and healthy. Some how, some way, I hope they know all these things. They may not feel they made a huge sacrifice, but I do. For that sacrifice, I will be eternally grateful.

Happy Birthday to my big 2 year old! I can't believe it! My baby isn't a baby anymore. : (
