T , S and I met in college and then became friends again when we joined the church where they were already members. Butch, Sundance and C are just a year apart and love to play together. Last summer we got to have him in our home while S went back to work while they were awaiting a baby to be available for adoption.
When I was expecting Toddler, S was experiencing the pain of losing two IVF babies. We loved each other through it but it was hard being a visible representation of what she longed for. S has loved on my kiddos and I love on hers. Our boys are bundles of love, energy and play.
On Monday, S and T's dreams became a reality as little baby J came into this world and a few hours later, his new mother learned that he was to be hers. There were some tense times as God cleared the way for him to join his big brother in our city. Tonight I got to hold this little (he was 4 weeks premature) guy and he is a visible reminder of how much God loves to give us good gifts.
Thank you God for J's birth mother who loved him and gave him to parents who had longed for him for a very long time. Thank you God for friends like T and S and C and J. Thank you God for your good gifts.
How wonderful! I have a friend with whom I have shared similar experiences so I think I know how happy for your friend you are.
