My dear, sweet, Leah Grace. I can't keep my mind from thinking of you today. Everyday, really. Since July anyway. I got these pictures this morning from your Angel. Our Angel. Words cannot express how thankful we are for the time Keren has spent with you. Even Miss Justine has noted that you are happier since her visits began. Oh what joy there will be when you are in our family!
These pictures represent your last visit alone with Keren. Your last visit without me. This is your last weekend without a mommy and your last week in the orphanage, hopefully. (We are praying they will let me "have you" when I get to Uganda...) In your last moments with your friends at the orphanage, know that Seth will be a great big brother. I'm sure you will fight, but you will love. Deeply. That's our family's thing. :)
I can't wait to read you books and see you laugh with delight like this. I can't wait to hear you babble, even though it won't make sense to me. I can't wait to teach you to say "Mama" and "Seth" and "Jjajja."
Just a few more days, sweet girl. We are coming.
And you are coming home.
At last.
I love you with every fiber of my being.
Mommy
