Who knew........

...... watching your little one in pain would be so hard.
...... having major surgery involving your mouth can be a very rough thing especially when you are 2 1/2.
...... seeing your little girl ( who you just met three months ago) cling to you for dear life would make you cry.
.....  hearing your child speak a few new words would be such a beautiful thing.
..... countless sleepless nights could make you feel like a completely different person, but you know it is worth every minute.
.... during all of those sleepless nights, it would give you extra prayer time and time to reflect on the Reason for the Season.
..... a little girl could teach a family the importance of 'family'.
...... that friends who live very far away could send a sweet gift just at the right time.  :)
..... I could be stretched in enormous ways as a mother through it all.
..... that I would be unable to 'thank' close family enough for their help, prayers, and insight.
..... that a 2 1/2 year old with a horrific nose bleed could make people do a double take while visiting Santa ( long story).
..... that on Christmas 2011 we would be staring at a picture of a cute little girl half a world away and now Christmas 2012 we are holding her tight.
