Half a World Away.....

I feel the sudden urge to have EVERYTHING in my house cleaned, dusted, and in it's place...odddly no one else here does:) However, it doesn't seem I'm going to have the time to accomplish that so for now I'm just doing exactly what's needed most. It's funny how the magnitude of what we are about to embark upon is finally settling over me. I wake up and my mind is instantly in overdrive thinking of everything still left to be done. We should hear from Beth this week and will know our exact travel date...at least that's what I'm praying for I would say I will really go into overdrive then!

I continue to remind myself to SLOW and breathe it all in. The joy of preparation for a little one entering our home doesn't happen every day. I am finding myself longing for him more each day...it's been so long now since the referral...almost 9 weeks! My sister found this poem below and it describes so nicely how I feel.....

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 will soon be home to stay
My precious son, my little boy
We will celebrate this day...

Knowing we will no longer be half a world away.
