A Moment

I sent on Mr. E's birthday present a couple days ago... and today... im having a moment.  The kind of moment you lose your breath often, and realize how fast time goes. The kind of moment where you watch your own little babies, little children, and realize, you didn't get to see that with him, but he allowed you to see it with them.  

Tomorrow, my angel baby is 10. Tomorrow is the day my life was changed forever, ten years ago.  He is the best thing that could have happened to me at that point in my life. He saved me. His birth, changed me, for the better. It is a blessing. A HUGE blessing, to have been allowed to make my wrong choice, to right. And to have been lucky enough to be trusted in getting him home.

Tomorrow, will be his post. Until then, here is to the moments i'm having today, that are taking my breath away.

I Get To Be The One

I Get to be The One, by JJ Heller

Well hello.

Little Baby.

Your eyes have never seen the sun.

You should know

Little baby.

That I Am the Lucky One.

I get to be the one to hold your hand.

I get to be the one.

Through Birthdays and broken bones.

I'll be there to watch you grow

I get to be the one.

Don't feel alone now. 

Little baby.

Do you hear me singing you a song.

I can't wait to show you

Little baby.

How to crawl

How to walk

How to run

I get to be the one to hold your hand

I get to be the one.

Through birthdays and broken bones

I'll be there to watch you grow

I get to be the one.

How does someone so small

Hold my heart so tightly 

I don't even know you

I love you completely

I get to be the one to hold your hand

I get to be the one.

Through birthdays and broken bones

I'll be there to watch you grow

I get to be the one

I get to be the one to hold your hand 

I get to be the one

Through birthdays and broken bones 

I'll be there to watch you grow

I get to be the one.

I am so lucky, that I get to watch him grow. And though I may not be the one to hold his hand and all that other awesomeness, I get to be the one who gave him it!  I am so glad that R & S get to be "the ones".  I found this song just a couple days ago. I love it.  Its hard not to find a song and tie it into adoption. Many songs have NOTHING to do with it, but heck, they sure fit:).  Life is ever changing and I am hoping to be up and running with new posts, new style, new everything shortly.  To all those amazing Adoptive Parents, Hopeful Adoptive couples, and families.... I am so happy you were chosen to be "the ones."

So here is a little blurb of an amazing woman, Tamra, who I get to finally meet in real life in a few weeks!

She speaks so eloquently. And I am pretty sure that i've posted this before, oh well.

Go visit Youtube and listen to this amazing woman!!! And i'll be back soon ya'll.

Tamra: And her Adoption Love

I'm coming up on having been a Birth Mother for 10 years.  I didn't think it would be scary... but it is.

Glad to be back. Glad to continue on. Though, I think a few of the dynamics will change:)

Thanks so much
