Birthday Blues

Today will be one of the happiest days on every other year but this one. Today is Dillen Marie's big day, her birthday. She doesn't know the pain that it causes us to not hold her, to not hear her voice or watch her taste a sweet treat. Our hearts hurt today.

We are thankful. We are thankful that Dillen's birth mother gave her a chance. We are thankful that we were chosen to provide a home for her when her birth family could not. There are many things to be thankful for.

Thank you for thinking of us today and keeping us in your prayers. Thank you for thinking of our little girl. We hope to make this a beautiful, memorable day, any other year.

Brooke,
I am so very sorry that Dillen is not home on her 1st Birthday. I just knew that you would be at least with her in Vietnam on this day and I'll never understand all the holdups. Please know that we are always praying for you, Chris and Dillen and Oh what a HOMECOMING it is going to be for Little Miss Priss!
Love you,
Teresa

Brooke,

I check every week and am praying for you and Dillen. The Home office is also in prayer for Dillen to come home!
