A song...

(i listen to at least 3x a day.)

The Promise - Tracy Chapman

If you wait for me
then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me,
if you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

If you dream of me,
like I dream of you
In a place thats warm and dark
In a place where I can feel
the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

I've longed for you
and I have desired
To see your face
your smile
To be with you
wherever you are

It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
if its one that you can keep,
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me
and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.

======================================

The wait is getting harder. and harder, and we have so far to go still. Our dossier is 3.5 months in Vietnam. I miss her and think of her all the time... and I want to know this little girl I long for and think of so often. The kids ask about her often, they don't understand the wait and I wish we had been able to not tell them as soon as we did. I've come to realize that my children will be 7 & 5 by the time they have baby sister home... Keaton may even be 8 by then although I hope the wait does not come to be that long. She has a place in our family's heart already, we will wait and pray she joins our family when the time is right. Until then I will continue to think of her and hope she is healthy and being loved until we can hold her in our arms.
