Three Years Ago Today - April 24, 2008
I had an angel placed into my arms and in that moment she claimed her proper place in my heart as my beloved daughter.
This was no stranger, my soul recognized her instantly, we were always meant to be together, the spot in my heart, which belonged to her and only her, swelled to contain the overflowing love which surged in when I held her close.
I nuzzled her ear and whispered, it's me, Mommy, we're together now - everything is going to be alright.
Her face is beauty personified, her laughter tickles me, her willingness to help and desire to stay close warms me. I am in awe of her.
I thank G*d for the gift of her everyday and night. She is my angel from heaven.
Today, as we celebrate the third annniversary of being united half way around the world I look ahead to a lifetime of milestones achieved and spent together. Thank you for the gift of being my daughter.
With all of my love and affection,
Mommy

Really beautiful words.
Happy anniversary to your family.
Ohhhhhhhh..... Nothing, nothing, nothing like the love of a mommy bringing someone home.
Love. this.
(and you)
I can't believe I missed this special day!! Love you both!!!
When I see these pictures of how little A was when she was placed in your arms it brings tears to my eyes. I forget sometimes that you traveled around the world for her because it seems like she's always been with you.
When I see her smooching you in the next few I can just feel the love and exactly how much you two were meant to be together.
The last picture, however, is my new all time favorite. Beautiful you and beautiful her...each proudly beaming to be next to the other...and each so content and loved.
You were, indeed, hand picked for one another...Mother and Daughter forever and ever. Oh the adventures that await, Val!
Love you,
Dita
PS
Please send me that last picture!!!
