What would I do without my spunky three-year-old ray of sunshine? My sweet, crazy, inquisitive Lil' Miss who is oh-so-excited to have brothers and sisters. My girl who wants the cashier at the grocery store to know that she's getting a brother who lives very, very far away in China and who prays with sweet innocence that we'll go get him soon.
What would I do without my roomie from college who so graciously invited me to escape to her house this weekend and has done an amazing job filling this time when I could be curled in a ball crying with Chipotle, late-night chocolate cake, and lots of retail therapy? The friend who doesn't mind just sitting on the couch in our pjs drinking
What would I do without family who have sent a million texts to let us know that they're praying and they love us? Family who are there for us despite the miles between us. Family who haven't tried to come up with easy answers to questions for which there aren't any.
What would I do without my incredible circle of friends - a circle that spans so many miles and years? Friends who have offered to come over, to listen, to pray, to do whatever it takes to walk this hard road with us. Friends who have blown me away with their love and compassion.
What would I do without those of you I know only in Blogland? You who have never been to my house or met me for coffee but who pray for me and my family all the same. You who have such amazing hearts for the fatherless, the hurting, and the forgotten.
What would I do if I didn't know that my mom, my college track coach, my best friend from kindergarten, and my work-out buddy from the Y are all thinking about and praying for our family and our future children?
What would I do without all of you?
What would I do if I had to face something like what I've faced this weekend alone?
I am blessed more than words can say.
Because I'll never have to.
