I know that it has been over 1 month since our LID to be exact it is almost 2 months since the LID. My heart aches for Emma. I hate that I am missing her grow up. I just wish I knew when we were going to get our LOA because then I could count on going to get our daughter soon after the arrival of it. I have been keeping busy with homeschooling and church but day in and day out the void is still there. It never goes away.
I was so glad to roll into 2010 because at least I could say we hope to bring Emma home in a few months instead of some time next year.
This week has been especially hard as I watch my husband who is Army from the inside out send his soldiers off to war with out him. He has trained them and trained to be their leader but God and the Army has other plans for him.
Even though the war is not a pretty thing this is what he trains and lives for, but knowing that we could get Emma in the next few months is much more of a sacrifice he is not willing to give up. It may not be to long after we bring her home that he may have to go off and protect our country but what a great daddy Emma has to know that she was so much more important to him than the one thing he lives, eats and breaths for.
Hang tough Renee - We got a super fast LOA - but then lingered for a TA....but yeah - it's as hard as it gets! It will come - of that you can be certain, and at least you won't have to worry about travel around CNY - that has me just a little worried!
ReplyDeleteTell your husband we said 'thanks for his service' - and if we might we'll share just a little pride in his sacrifice for us! I'll have a Tsing Dau in his honor at Lucy's....and maybe one day I'll get a chance to buy him one there!
hugs - aus and co.
Your wait will be so worthwhile. Your faith is incredible as it is hard to leave things in His hands. I will be praying for Emma to come home soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you also to your husband for his service to us and the country.
Hugs to you all.
