Since this is a sort of history log for our daughter to have one day, I wanted to let her know how hard this wait is for us. So this is written for her:
Paige,
You look so happy in your update pictures. We have now known who you are since December. You are 6 months old, and by the looks of your video are getting ready to crawl or walk and use your legs. I really thought that I would be holding you in my arms by now since it is June... The reality of it is that I just don't know when you will be home. I am not even sure you will be home with us in the summer. I just hope that you know that we love you, and talk about you every day. We sometimes will go and sit in your room which is all ready for you and just think about you. We hope that you won't look back and think that we didn't try everything we could to get you home with us. It is truly a hopeless feeling when you want something (you Paige) so much, and can't get it because of things beyond your control. This wait has made me learn the true meaning of patience. We love you little Paige Min Shan.

I am sure it will happen this summer, and all this waiting will be a distant memory. I can say, the patience thing comes in handy later on! Thinking of you.

Lisa,
I have no words......ok, yes I do afterall(you know me!).....that was so genuine, heartfelt and beautiful. What a gift to her one day and for you to be able to express the toll this wait is taking and share your grief.
I hope and pray she is home soon.
Hugs to you,
Lisa
