This Side…

I love to be a witness to the change that happens over time, 

And I love to see the transformation,

Seeing our little person, who is so grief stricken, slowly begin to open up.

Like a little flower…

Seeing a glimpse of happiness…

Some smiles…

Seeing some joy come into such sad, dejected eyes…

And watching my baby finally start to relax into her new, forever family.

I love to hear the little giggles finally emerge,

And the language start to erupt.

I love it all. I love to watch from the beginning, and be a part of such a happy, happy story…

But as much as I love the beginning… I adore being on this side of things.

The beginning is so beautiful, and broken, but this side… this side is filled with love, and happiness, and joy.
