This morning as I lay next to Natalie, watching her sleep, I was overcome with joy and sadness. Here is my beautiful daughter sleeping peacefully, snuggled in soft blankets. A sweet smile crosses her lips as I caress her cheek. She is so precious to me that, at times like this, it truly takes my breath away. Then my thoughts turn to her first mother, the dear woman that gave us her ultimate gift of Love. What did she feel as she looked at our daughter as she slept. Was she filled with such joy, also. Or was she filled with unbearable sadness of having to let go. I can not imagine her pain. All I can pray is that she has peace in her heart for her little girl that has come to be the entire world to Jon and I. I wish that I could tell her that HongHu is happy, loved and healthy. And that I will always have a very special place in my heart for her.
