After a tough workout on top of being sick and not sleeping well for nearly a week, I was really emotional in the car after leaving Chad and I cried in the garage for 15 minutes when I returned home. My body felt sore, I was exhausted physically and I couldn't stop crying. All of that - every sore muscle, fatigue from being sick and tears immediately disappeared the minute I walked in the house and saw Katie. How can you not smile? Just look at her and you'll see what I mean. Spend a few minutes with her and you'll know she's something very special. I promise that I can endure absolutely anything to ensure I will be around for her for a very long time. I have to be. She needs me - and I need her, too.
I love my daughter and every extra set of reps that Chad (kindly) makes me perform only makes me more determined to get through it because she is worth every ounce of energy and strength that I have.

"what a wonderful thing you did adopting Katie from China. You know, you probably saved her life!" But in my heart, I never truly believed that. I believe wholeheartedly that she saved and continues to save - MY life."
ReplyDeleteI think it's a two way street ;) As you know it sometimes seems harder to accept what we gift to others and easier to see what others gift to us.
