Another Year
Birthdays mean another year has passed. The child/person is 365 days older than the last time you said Happy Birthday and celebrated their special day. In adoption, the birthday of a child who is "yours" in mind and love and somewhat on paper, can also mean another year without them. Another year where they are growing up without a family. As good as an orphanage can be, and I know Macy is in a good one and is very well cared for, it still cannot replace the love of a family. And Macy was another year older yesterday. We first received her referral and pictures and information in January 2013. She turned three that April. She turned four yesterday. Time passing is hard when that person is not with you. Harder still when you know that you have known of this little person for over 1/4 of their life and it's being lived without you.
But we celebrate her. We celebrate the life she has led. The life she will lead. And we await the day we can share this with her, show her the pictures of the parties we held in her honor. And throw her her own very first ever birthday party once she's home!
Happy Birthday Macy!!! We were glad to celebrate early with you while in Haiti!!!
