ANGELS ON EARTH...

We never would have guessed in a million years that what happened today, actually would happen!

It has been so difficult to be away from Asha and to be able to hear how she is changing and growing and the new things she is doing. Some try to be an encouragement to us by reminding us that it is similar to a pregnancy and that we have to wait the normal "9 months" for our child. Although others try to empathize, nothing can really fill that emptiness or void that we feel because our daughter is not here in our arms.

We were on the phone today with Asha's foster mother Lynda to check with her to see how Asha was doing this week. Lynda was asking questions about our home and if it had a ramp or steps so we were telling her a little more about the layout of our house. She then said, "We don't know if you would agree or how you feel about this, but what would you think about coming and living at Asha's first home until the paperwork is done and you can bring her home?" At first we were speechless and in utter shock! How would we feel??? BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF...we asked them if they were sure that they wanted to have us as house guests and she said that she wouldn't have asked if she wasn't sure. We talked about how it may be a couple of months and they told us that we were welcome to stay as long as needed.

So, what does this all mean? It means that we are going crazy without Asha and that we will be leaving on May 1st to go and live with her in St. Vincent, afterall she is OURS! Then we will be bringing her home with us. We can't complain about having to live in the Caribbean for a few months can we?

The plane tickets are booked. Now all we need to do is count down the days...
