We’re still waiting around here. My lawyer says there is still hope for something to happen this week, but the way things have gone so far, I’m finding it hard to believe. Each day we are told, "Maybe tomorrow." The waiting and living life in limbo is tough.
Thank you for your prayers. They’ve helped me to get through another roller coaster week. This has been a tough one. The closer we get to Christmas the more I want to be home, but the more impossible it seems for Mercy to go with me. Emma and Avery have class parties and school projects that I’d love to be attending. I feel like I’ve already missed so much. I’m trying to finish up my shopping online. So grateful for the internet! Can't believe Christmas is next week. Wow!
Emma summed it all up for me this week. She told me yesterday morning on the phone, “At first Mommy I was sad you were gone, then I was mad that you couldn’t come home yet, now I’m just tired.” Me too Em… Mommy is tired and longing to see you and love on you. So ready for our family of 5 to all be together.
