We Are Here

Ah yes......so happy to have upgraded to Business Class.

It made the 13hr flight much better.

Always happy to see an on time departure ! ;)

Just getting comfortable for the L-O-N-G flight! The flight really was nice.

We watched lots of movies, had pretty good food and we all were

able to sleep as best as one can on a plane.

As soon as the plane touch down and the announcement was made "Welcome to China"......you all know that my eyes filled with tears for at that very moment the reality of what was really going to happen set in. I felt as though I had come home or that I had come back to the place that I left a little piece of my heart 4 years ago. I looked at Emmie and said "We're here" and I knew by looking at my sweet girl that the emotions were high for her too. We were only in the room for a few minutes when the phone rang and it was Shiyan...our wonderful director who takes care of us while we are here. I was given my instructions on what I needed to do with paperwork and what time to be in the lobby in the morning. And I know my travel mates are all getting a good giggle out of the "lobby" memories. Emmie and I already went to the store for treats for Andrew and for WATER....lots -n-lots of water! lol I went down to have some dinner by myself since David and Emmie are too wiped out to do do. As I took that first bite of spaghetti, I just prayed that it wouldn't make me sick. And I also realized as I sat there, that this is the last night my sweet boy will ever spend alone. The last night without a family, the last night without prayers, the last night without a hug or kiss.....the last night his little soul will have to be alone. The tears came, but I didn't care. Tomorrow our day begins at 8:30AM. A day that will change us forever. That will change me forever. Hold on my sweet boy.....hold on. Sending love to my babies and special people and family back home. Love you all.......hugs and kisses! ;)
