Get your tissues :)
My friend, who is also an adoptive mother sent me this beautiful poem, it made me cry. (thanks Laura) :)
The Best Gift (Rosemary Clooney)
The best gift that I ever got
Didn't really weigh a lot.
It didn't have a ribbon 'round,
And it sometimes made an awful sound.
The best of all it seems to me,
It wasn't 'neath the Christmas tree.
And yet, I guess I'd have to say,
That it made all the other presents twice as gay.
The best gift that I've ever known,
I'd always wanted most to own.
Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice,
I never thought it could be so nice.
The best gift that I'll ever get
Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet,
Was usually pink, but oftentimes red
As it lay so innocently in its bed.
The best gift of the year to me,
The one I hold most dear to me,
The gift that simply drove me wild,
Was a tiny, newborn child.
Little Emma has filled our home with so much love! She is a month old today, I can't believe it, we've only had her home for a few days, and they have made our Christmas magical. It is so much fun having two girls, they are both so sweet. I can't imagine my life with out them. Our family feels much more complete now, my heart is at peace.
