"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" or at least brings out alot of memories...
I thought Day "3" of our trip would be a good day for "me" (Cyndi) to write. Since this is my 3rd child - and I hope to be blessed again with another wonderful child.
I closed my eyes on the airplane and my hopes and dreams are a little different from my first plane ride to bring Becca home. Yes, it has the same hope for a successful adoption - but more of a hope to watch over my children at home & to bring us back safely to them. I realized then that my scarf carries Becca's perfume and I'm thankful that I have "her" with me. I can't believe that little girl who held her "bobby's (father in Albanian) finger" and swirled around to look at her relection in the car - is now my 16 year old driving her own car and still obsessed with her "reflection". How fast the time has gone! And as I write this, my hope is she stays safe and is careful driving.
Then there is my little man - who is so in tune to my emotions. I tried to hide my crying behind my glasses as I hugged him goodbye - but he knew and busted me by lifting my sun glasses. A call to him yesterday made us feel so much better - he just wanted to know if he got "Flash" (action figure) when we got home. LOL!
So that's our post for Day 3. Enjoying our time together & reconnecting the "us" that sometimes gets lost in the busy days of parenting.
Love, Cyndi
