One year ago this week, we first heard from Natalie and our friendship began. So naturally she has been on my mind a lot lately. Well, she’s always on my mind, but she has been especially so these past few days.
I love that I see so much of her in M. He has her eyes. Not the color, but the shape is EXACTLY the same, as is the long lovely lashes. And M smiles the same way his Natalie does. This huge smile that makes his eyes crinkle just like hers do. I am glad that he has so many pieces of his Natalie to remind him of her love.
I am so grateful for her. I love telling M all about his Natalie. I read him all of her emails and texts. And when I lay him in his crib at night I give him two kisses (at least!), one from me and one from her.
I wanted to share this song for National Adoption Month. It is a song that we listened to on our way to meet Nat for the first time, and have enjoyed many times since. The video was put together by Families Supporting Adoption.
Gorgeous song. and beautiful insight:) I always have wondered the feelings of parents when they look in their baby's eyes and see her. He's beautiful Natalie & Whitney and Spencer, simply perfect. I love that you give him two kisses:) Adorable. Hugs!
