Trees and cars do not mix

 With every adoption we/I seem to have the worse luck. :'O(

After a long day at the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic I decided to spend the remainder of the day cleaning out my car.  After four long hours  I had it sparkling and walked away proud of how my car looked.  Normally I usually work cleaning inside but today the kids and I decided to spend sometime outside.

Later that evening and a very loud cracking sound one of our tree's biggest branches decided to break loose.

Today we find out our car is a total lost.  Hard to understand just why things like this has got to happen. Today I spend most of the day sweeping up glass and then waiting to hear back from our insurance company.  My life is like a dance.  Two steps forward and another three steps back... Why when one saves and saves bad things happen?  Very thankful the children were not still outside cleaning the car, it could have been much worse.  The car can be replaced, it is only a material item but not a child.  So back to square one in saving a little more towards our adoption.  Gary needing his car to get to work and my car for medical appointments for the children.  I ask myself over and over why didn't I move the car?   And why now?  Especially when we are saving hard towards our adoption.  This is life, our life. Many ups and many downs...  Well tomorrow we will wake up and start a new day.  Tonight our car still sits and waits to be towed away.  Sad knowing that we worked so hard to keep it in great shape and then seeing it destroyed so easily by an old 100 year old tree.

No words

There are just some days where there are no words that can  take away from pain and heart ache. This pass week we were robbed, our precious cat got ill, once again funds lost.  Still we are blessed.  A neighbor is killed by two young man breaking into a neighbors car, a man loses his girlfriend and his unborn son a day before his child is delivered.  My friend's baby girl has open heart surgery and she waits outside the recovery room, a baby boy takes his last breathe and my son struggles to live another day. Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children.  A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer.  Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings.  So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart.  Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
