Today is Lily's 2nd Birthday, and as painful as it is to look at these pictures, my heart is full of love when I see them. Lily spent only 24 hours with us, and in those few hours has made an lasting impression on our lives. I can't remove those feelings or the love and wondering and praying for her everyday. Hoping that she has found a forever family. Thinking about what her life is like. Ours will never be the same since the day we met her. She is our angel that helped us meet Amelia. Someone so small and fragile has moved me and made me see life in a very different way. I wish I could tell you that I'm past that day we met her, but that is not true and I don't know if I will ever be. I will always love her and cherish the time we spent with her. She is still my daughter in China that I could not bring home. So just because I want to, Happy Birthday Lily, I love you and miss you so much, thank you for the sweet and wonderful way you touched our hearts.
