Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have a special day that we celebrate in the Simply June household on the day before Thanksgiving. Three years ago today, we first learned the name of our son Nikolai after months and months of the adoption process. His first Thanksgiving home, I wrote a special poem to share my thoughts with him and our families. I'm sure I've shared it here before, but I'll share it again because it is good to give thanks...
It was a year from today that we first heard your name
Saw your face
Heard your laugh
Allowed ourselves to dream...
In those days and weeks before we held you in our arms
Before we saw your face
Heard your laugh
Held you close and warm
We thanked God for His children
For the son he gave to us
Born half way around the world
Clearly meant for us
We thank God for you on this THANKSGIVING DAY
And we pray for the others that are still waiting today
That their forever families will soon hear their name,
See their face, hear their laugh and allow themselves to dream.
Also keep an eye out on the Simply June Etsy shop as I will be updating it in spurts throughout the weekend... there are already some new goodies in there now.
