I seem to have lost a bit of my focus this past week! Funny that!
In fact, I kinda almost forgot that we enjoyed a wonderful week in Cuba! It's a distant memory now, vastly overshadowed by a telephone call that basically changed our lives! Again! For the second time! In a fabulous way!
It's funny how things happen... before heading to Cuba we were reminiscing how just before Lilah's referral, 4 years ago, we'd went on a vacation to Mexico. About a month after we arrived home, we received her referral! I'd been joking with a few people saying "Wouldn't it be nice if it worked out the same this time?" Little did I know it would be the actual day we arrived home and we wouldn't even have to wait a month!
Also, when we were in Mexico, 4 years ago, Baba had picked out a little dress in the hopes that we'd have a daughter to wear it some day - yes Lilah has worn that special dress! Well, the same thing happened this time too. Baba bought a little dress in the hopes that we'd have another daughter. In fact, he bought Phebe's dress (in the airport) on the Sunday, just hours before we arrived home to the message of her referral. Yes, the same day we found out about her, he'd bought her a sweet little dress.
Some things just work out in a special way. It renewed our strength.
So hopefully this week I'll get around to the Cuba pictures, I just had to tell you that little story!
What wonderful news! Can't wait to hear/see more about your precious Phebe!
