Wish #65



I have a best friend that is walking down this EXACT same path with me. She and her husband are adopting the (second) most precious boy in all of China. In spite of all the ups and downs, delays, moves, etc. we are on virtually the same timeline. A dream come true would be to have our Consulate Appointments in Guangzhou, China near the same time and share the miracles together! But - I will settle for both having these boys in our arms as soon as possible.

Ty -
Since the first time we heard Rascal Flatts sing this, you were in our hearts. As you wish upon the stars...know that we are looking at those same stars and are, more than anything, praying for you and loving you.

"I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
I hope you find God's grace in every mistake
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too!" ~Rascal Flatts


This just shows how sympatico we are, my friend! When I set up Ty's blog - music was a must and this song was a definite. It was in my heart from the first moment, too.

Carol and Cal - we love you guys and just don't know if we could do it without you! Someday, we will ALL be together...your Goddaughter Caitlin and our son's Ty and Kelly. It will be more than we can ever hope for!



And everyone - please pray for this family and for them to be united SOON. Baby Kelly, we can't wait to hold you and show you how much you are loved! Isn't he adorable?!
