3 Years with Zoe

3 Years ago today in a very cold Nanchang civil affairs office building we waited with 3 other couples for the most amazing gift ever given. The gift of a child. We were all so nervous we cried we laughed we comforted one another as best we could. The excitment and anticipation was so great that morning. Then with the sound of a baby cry from a distance we all knew our lives were about to change forever. Zoe was the 1st or 2nd child to come in but she had a big smile and was playing with her name tag. She came right to me with her big smile. She melted every part of my being. That moment I knew what Gods love was truly all about. That moment I truly accepted at face value the love I thought I had accepted from my heavenly father. Who knew you could love someone in an instant with a love that would cause you to be willing to lay down your life for. I would give everything I have including my life for this sweet baby girl.
Zoe is so amazing and has taught me to truly love to be loved unconditionaly to give freely and to also recieve freely. Zoe has brought laughter and joy and so many other good things to my life. She is such a smart sensitive seeing child. She sees the heart of a person not the outward appearance or a gruff exterior. She has an amazing ability to love.
I am so greatful to God for allowing us the oportunity to be Zoes parents and to Zoe for allowing us to be her parents. She is a gift I will always treasure. To say I am thankful to be her mother is the understatement of the year. I am so in love with my little girl. I can't wait to see what she will be when she blooms into a beautiful adult. I know God has big plans for this little princess. Happy Anniversary Zoe. You are so loved and wanted and are a treasure beyond expectation. I Love you so much my sweet daughter!!!!!!!
Mom.
