*********************************************************************************************
Selfishly, I want to throw a giant pity party for myself--and you would be invited. But I'm not, so you don't need to post it on your calendar:) I thought I would save you all some trouble.
All I wanted for Christmas was a baby. A baby that had no home. I wanted to dress this baby up in Christmas dress clothes, take Christmas pictures and send out family Christmas cards, from the 3 of us. Right now, there is an ache in my heart as I celebrate Christmas with my family of 2 instead.
I don't know why we don't have a baby this Christmas. I don't know why God chose to close this door. I don't know why this is not the Christmas that I will become a proud mama.
But there is a baby.
A baby that brought hope.
A baby that brought reconciliation.
A baby that brought redemption.
A baby that brought peace.
A baby that grew up to give His life for me
A baby that was born fully man and fully God.
And because of that baby, I can celebrate Christmas.

Aching, aching, bitter, sweet, beautiful truth.
so glad you have your family of three this Christmas. its been fantastic watching you guys grow with Caleb this past year. We didn't know you much at all when you first got him but its easy to see how much he has blessed you and changed you this year. keep being the great parents that you are.
much love
Malachi and Karalise
