Our sweet Empress is sleeping... taking her afternoon nap... I can't help but think about a woman... 7000 miles away. This time last year, she held our girl in her arms... she made what had to be an incredibly difficult decision... to leave her child - our daughter - so that she could be found... I thank that strong, brave woman for carrying MeiLeigh nine months and choosing to give her life... and I pray that she will know in her heart that OUR girl is safe, warm, happy, perfect... and loved beyond belief. Later today we will celebrate the first birthday of our beautiful Empress... and as the candle is blown out, I will probably shed one more tear for a woman I will never know... but we will always love.

And just when I thought I had shed the last of my "MeiLeigh" tears. I've often thought of the woman who gave up MeiLeigh, how excruiatingly painful that must have been. I wished there were a way for her to see the joy in MeiLeigh's eyes and love in your haert for that sweet baby girl. It was always in God's plan for MeiLeigh to join your family at this time and place - it was just meant to be. Couldn't be happier for you.
Awwe beautiful post Kim, and Happy Birthday sweet MeiLeigh!!
Happy Birthday precious girl! Blessings
