Here we sit, just waiting. Waiting at home for the virus to pass, waiting at home for an update, waiting at home for our travel approval (TA) to appear. Just waiting. We past the time painting and decorating her room. We pass time by getting more clothes for her. We pass the time watching her videos over and over again. We pass the time looking at her beautiful face through the pictures we have. Our hearts ache to hold our sweet little girl. Our family feels incomplete, but we have faith. We have faith that there is a lesson to learn. We have faith that we are not running on our timeline, but on our Father in Heaven's. We have faith that soon she will be in our arms. We have faith that the world will heal and all those waiting will get to be united with their children. We are uplifted by new friends we have found that are waiting too. We are uplifted by the sweet check in texts, messages, or calls from friends and family. We are uplifted through our prayers and the prayers of others on our behalf.  We know that someday soon the joy we will feel when we get to hug her, read to her, shower her with our love, will out weigh the sorrow in our hearts. We know that someday as we get to share new experiences with her, this waiting time will become a distant memory. We know that someday our hearts will be overflowing with the joy she is going to bring to our lives, will cover the sorrow there now. So although we wait, we ache, and we cry, we also have optimism for the future for the reunion we will have, the experiences we will have and the love we will share with our sweet Lulu.
