I can't imagine it. I never knew your journey was 10 years long. I've never met you...but I'm crying. My fiance thinks I'm totally nuts.<br /><br />Happiness and serenity is what I feel. That the world will have this family of four that faces a world of such potential, grandeur, obtacle, and struggle. Your family, your garden, the bees, the zebra chairs...it is simply marvelous. We will all benefit from having two little ones raised in the proud, kind, creative, and loving home that you and Steven will provide. <br /><br />As a teacher, I've seen how the home forms these minds, hearts, and spirits, that take flight in the world. Your steady hand, constant hugs, and flowing kisses will embolden two minds to believe they can be anything.<br /><br />It's good to know that parents like you are out there.Zorahttp://zoratravels.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233227024562434538.post-27235124374667163432009-06-06T20:05:11.794-07:002009-06-06T20:05:11.794-07:00Loved FINALLY reading about the call...just ask Ke...Loved FINALLY reading about the call...just ask Kerri...I've been slightly annoyed that you made us wait so long..yep, I'm not patient!!

It's slightly off kilter in such a good, good way. <br /><br />Love that you are talking about the feelings.
