some say we've missed it.

Today, someone told me that because of the long wait for Sam, Jeremy and I have missed the "best part."

It's true that we've missed quite a bit--the feel of holding a newborn, middle of the night feedings, teething, crawling, walking, his first word, first haircut, the first time he slept through the night, his whole first year, and the list goes on.  Oh, yes, we've missed plenty of things, but we haven't missed the best part because the best is yet to come!

The best part will be when I see him for the first time.

The best part will be when we get off the airplane as we finally bring our sweet boy home.

The best part will be hearing his voice, his laughter, and even his cry.

The best part will be the feeling of finally being able to hold our sweet boy.

The best part will be having our house filled with the sounds and movement of a two year old.

The best part will be found in the years that lay ahead of us.

  1. Wow, some people just don't think before they speak. You have the right attitude, though :).
