My world sitting across from me at dinner. This man is not only an amazing husband, but an amazing dad too! Lillian is one loved little girl. We loved her before we knew her, we loved her when she was placed in our arms but I had no clue what "mama bear love" would feel like. I am not sure when it happened exactly; when it went from feeling like we were playing house to "this is real." What I do know is this is MY daughter and I would sacrifice my life for her in a heartbeat!
As I was talking to Lillian the other night I was telling her how she had turned our lives upside down and in a good way. Stephen's response: "No you've turned our lives right side up." After much heartache and feeling like we could never catch a break, no truer words have ever been spoken!
God is good, but please hear me that even if He had not brought Lillian into our lives he would still be good! He never left our sides and loved us always. My heart will ALWAYS break and ache with those yearning to be called mom or dad. I don't know if the pain will ever completely cease and to be honest I don't know if I want it to. I want to remember as to always have empathy. I feel God gave us this path for a reason not just a season. So to those still walking the journey of heartbreak know you are NOT alone!
