So I sit here in the same Delta SkyClub where I pondered our new life 14 days ago. Things are quite a bit different. Before, there was anticipation. Now, there is realization. Reality has definitely set in that we have another child. Perhaps it was the 3.5 hour flight to Tokyo where Echo was passed back and forth between us countless times? She was restless! I don't blame her, a 5 am wake time is not easy. Perhaps it is because Mistye just changed a diaper. Perhaps it is because Echo is swiping at my hands and ripping my laptop onto the floor as I try to type this. afdencuneoujjjjjjjjjjjjd;jsdfljaf;oiend. That was Echo. Perhaps it's because I thought about this moment the last time I was in the Delta lounge... what would it feel like to be one flight from home instead of one flight from our little girl?
It feels good. Reality is great. I am happy. We are happy. Echo is happy. I suspect Reese, Maddox and Zane will be very happy to see us. Our friends, our family and others who have followed this journey are happy for us. Happy is good. Now, if we can just keep Echo subdued for another 13 hours on the flight home, we'll all be happy.
See you guys soon.
Hi Mistye! My husband and I are in the beginning of the adoption process (researching countries and agencies). I would love to talk to you about your experience with Lifeline if you have the time. brookewillis@gmail.com
