Waiting For Ava

“But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day.” Habakkuk 2:3

Wanting For Nothing - Well Not Really True

Terri and I were driving back from Barrie last night and I made a comment to her that we live a pretty good life. That we wanted for nothing. Well not exactly nothing. We want for our daughter Ava. That's really the only want in our lives. We have our health. We live in a nice home. We both have family members close by. We are pretty spoiled in a-lot of ways. It just goes to show that material things mean nothing. If you have your health and a home to live in then you are doing pretty good. I also said to Terri that my one wish in life right now is that when we get Ava home and are spending quality time with her that those times in our lives don't fly bye. That when you are sitting on the couch with her and she wraps her little arms around you that you could freeze time and space. We both realize that we are going to have to really soak in times like that. We have friends and family members who are so lucky to have children to love and to be loved. People keep telling us that when we finally get Ava home that the wait will seem like nothing. We hope so.

    It WILL seem like nothing one of these days...and then you'll start giving yourself reality checks (like you mentioned) in between being normal, frustrated, tired, entirely satisfied and ecstatic parents!!!

    Life is good, and it WILL get even better. *grin*

    You always write exactly how I am feeling as well! I can't wait for the day that I/we look back and have forgotten about the wait!
