What a fun day, Ty and I had. Sweet Melba and little Charlie stepped out from the computer screen and came to visit us, today!!! It's the first time I've had the opportunity to love on a bloggy friend in real life...SO FUN! I told Melba it was like meeting a celebrity for the very first time.I would not have survived my journey without her and am hopeful we'll continue walking through motherhood together, in both spheres...bloggy and real.
Melba is even more lovely, in person. She does motherhood with grace and gentility, pouring her soul into sweet Charlie. She has a beautiful heart and Charlie is her life...she thoughtfully considers him at every turn. We are kindred spirits her and I...
It was so cool to be able to talk to someone who walked and is walking in my shoes. I don't think I've ever had more fulfilling conversation. Threads of understanding ran through our day, as we talked about our experiences...our pain...dreams for our boys... Our boys. I still can't believe I can say that...
Their stories are different, their coloring opposite...but one truth remains the same. These precious baby boys are God-given miracles. Long awaited, much anticipated, out-of-the-box, very expensive, well worth the wait, heart cry...miracles.I hope they're buddies for life.
That is so awesome! I'm glad for you and I must say, those are two gorgeous little men!

I'm so happy that you two got to meet each other. You are both such sweet, kind people - you can tell from everything you write.

OH it just melts my heart. I love hearing you say "your boys." What a blessing. Both of the boys stories are so amazing and they have so much to share with eachother as they grow up together. :)

How cool! I had no idea that you two lived close enough that you could visit. What an amazing day that must have been and what beautiful baby boys! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so precious. They are adorable. That is cool that you can meet someone outside the blogging world after bloggging to each other and now going through the same thing with one and other. That is so awesome and cool. I love reading about the adventure you are all going through after the heart ache of waiting to adopt that you can have this happiness and excitment in the end it awesome to watch and hope that some day I can too feel that feeling. That is so cool and hope they are also friends for life.

What a great day! You both are an inspiration and it does help to talk to someone IRL who has walked the same journey as you and can truely understand your feelings and emotions. I know just from the support I get in bloggy world on the journey I have been on and then contiune even in motherhood and then to be able to meet that person - what an amazing day for you two!!!!

ReplyDeleteOh you are SO incredibly sweet, and I love this blog post! It's funny, I wrote mine before reading yours (which was hard, but I forced myself!) and we said some pretty similar things. :)
