Hiding from Reality

The reality is that it's been 62 days since I said goodbye to our little girl.
2 Months and 1 Day
5,356,800 Seconds
89,280 Minutes
1488 Hours
8 1/2 weeks

The reality is that it's been 55 days since I said goodbye to our little boy.
1 Month and 25 Days
4,752,000 Seconds
79,200 Minutes
1320 Hours
7 1/2 weeks

We're 2 months in to a 4-6 month wait.
Coming home from trip 1 in mid June I was coming home to summer break which meant extra kids home from school and fun chaos.
That only keeps your mind off of things for so long though,
Then there was 4th of July weekend which was a fun escape from the heartache as well.
The following week he had planned to go camping with friends but were unable to do so and ended up with an unexpected 3 week visit with friends and boy did they keep us too busy to over think the awful wait.

But you can only run from the heart ache for so long before having to face reality.
It was time to come home.
Time to get ready for the new school year.
Time to kick things into high gear at home as we prepare to bring these two home.
And the days are longer,
The time is slower,
and the pain is worse than ever.

Our second stage dossier was submitted about a week and a half ago.
Progress is being made.
Things are currently out of our hands while we wait for a signature in country.
Praying for an email that says our dossier has landed itself on the court clerks desk,
Knowing it's likely weeks away.

Leaving M and G was two very different experiences emotionally,
But my gosh, the ache I have to hold them right now is exactly the same.
The day cannot come soon enough.

Financially speaking,

Please continue to pray that OCTOBER is GOTCHA month!
