Two Days?
Savannah and Danelle (Pronounced like Danielle in case you are wondering...) are incredible young ladies! Brad and I had a chance to meet them tonight and we felt like we were talking with our girls. It is surreal to meet your daughters for the first time when they are older. We talked about our new house, what their rooms are like, their school, their favs (of almost everything we could think of), our girls, Kooper, our church, activities we all enjoy, what our lives were like growing up, our extended family, crooked teeth and cavities, broken bones, how tall we are (or short we are :-) and anything else we could think of in the about two hours we spent together. Toward the end of our conversation we began talking about the next time we could meet and we, along with the foster family, agreed that we could pick them up on Thursday night and take them out for ice cream so they could meet our girls as well. This is when the conversation got sentimental for me now that I am reliving the whole time...and I am so happy it did...I was hoping there would be some unforgettable moment from our first meeting that I could always treasure...I didn't leave empty-handed...thanks to God. Danelle said, "Two Days????" (meaning that was going to be too long before we could see them again)...to which Savannah responded, "Well, if you go to bed right now...when you wake up...you can say tomorrow we will see them again and it will only have to be one day." HOW CAN YOU SAY GOODBYE, or even, SEE YOU LATER TO THAT? I wished I could have taken them home with us right then. 44 hours is going to seem like an eternity...have I ever mentioned I am working on my patience?
