Just Hours Away!

We just finished packing for our morning flight to Chongqing. After all this time, it's hard to believe that we're just hours away from meeting Olivia!

I thought this would be a good time to post a poem Dawn wrote back in September of 2005:

For Olivia –

With Gods peace in our hearts
To seek you, my dear,
A journey imparts,
To soon hold you near.

We can't wait to meet you
To hold you in our arms,
Then get to know you,
And learn all your charms.

We pray for your birth parents,
For their journey and pain,
As sadly for them,
Their loss is our gain.

We can never imagine
What they have gone through,
Yet somehow we know
Of their deep love for you.

When finally we meet,
We pray that you'll know,
That these loving arms
Will never let you go.

So sleep tight, my love
For soon you'll be here
We'll give you rich love
And calm all your fears.

Thank you, Lord, that we will get to hold our dear little one in our arms tomorrow.
