We have been ready for Christmas for quite some time already. Our tree is decorated, stockings hung, gifts all wrapped and under the tree and the baking is completed. Although we are ready for Christmas in that sense, we will never be ready for the sadness we feel this holiday season.
To us Christmas means the birth of Jesus Christ but it is also a time for children. And for us, our most special and important gift is not going to be here this Christmas. It will be Asha's very first Christmas and she will be away from home, away from her Daddy and Mommy. More than anything, this time of the year makes us miss her that much more. We are trying to look to the future, to next year when she will be with us and will have her FIRST Christmas home with her family. We try to imagine what she will be like at Christmas next year with the lights and the gifts and the treats and the snow! Especially the snow! What a shock that will be for her!
So during this time, although our hearts ache to hold our little girl in our arms, we hold on to the dream of how wonderful Christmas will be next year. 2009 WILL BE the best year of our lives!!!
