From now on...

From now on...

• the entire Davidson family is under one roof
• when someone asks how many children I have, I can officially say "Two"
• I am no longer outnumbered in my household
• I have someone to shop with who doesn't get bored after 20 minutes
• we raise a high-schooler and a pre-schooler at the same time
• twice as many prayers are sent up... actually, make that thrice
• my heart is a little more full

Sam is here. To stay. So many emotions have come and gone over the last two weeks... Joy to have her here with us. Apprehension and inadequacy regarding my ability to give her everything she needs. Fear that I'll fail her. Heartbroken-ness for the heartbreak she feels leaving everything behind. Hope that she will take advantage and bloom in this fresh new start she's been given. Excitement for everything our family's future together will hold. Mourning for what it won't. Prayerfulness for the protection of my entire family from attacks from the Evil One. Faith that The Father can heal. Will heal.

Above all, there is love. My heart just spills over, along with my eyes now, with love for my family. My prayer is that she can see how much she is loved here. And that our love, and His, will be enough.
