... we saw your sweet, precious face for the very first time.
... our social worker called to say "I have a referral for you!"
... daddy and I stood by the kitchen counter with the phone in between us on speaker as we listened to her tell us about you. We stared wide-eyed at each other with our hearts pumping and our thoughts racing a million miles a minute.
... we hung up the phone and ran to turn on our computer because an email with your picture was headed our way.
... we couldn't sleep as we tossed and turned with excitement.
One year ago today our world turned upside down and inside out as we learned that you were in it. All the way on the other side of the world, you were living, eating, sleeping, playing. I remember parts of that day so clearly like it just happened yesterday. I can actually hear the phone call and remember details like "She's afraid of the dark" and "She likes having her face stroked."
One year ago today you came into our lives through a phone call and an email, and since then have taken over our hearts, our being.
Happy Referral Day, Emerson!
