NVC letter and random thoughts....

Oh, it's been so long since I put something on here. My life is full but I wouldn't want it any other way. We just received the NVC letter today. It will be sent to China's US embassey on Wednesday and picked up on the 20th. Then as it is sent to the CCAA our agency will request that our travel approval is expedited. It's getting closer and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I love calling my husband, sister and parents to give them the newest updates and celebrate the next step completed. But there are a few other people who I so dearly wish I could just pick up the phone and call....but they're no longer here. Oh, I'm sure they know but, oh, how I wish I could hear their excitement in their voices as I gave them the news. I wish I could drive to my Grandma, sit by her side, hold her frail hand and say, "Grandma, guess what?" I even wish I could see Eric's smile when I told him I was adopting again. He would be so happy, I know. But I'm here and they're THERE and we are a heaven apart. I find comfort knowing that someday I will be able to sit alongside my Grandma and see Eric's smile again.
