It hits me, that sorrow, randomly. Like the other night I was staring at the Christmas tree all lit up and remembering back to when I was a little girl and how magical everything was and it occurred to me how much I wish I could share in that magic with my baby boy. I bought him a hoodie, a tiny hoodie so he'll be warm, and his first Christmas tree ornament.

It is more than obvious how much you love your little Roo and how noble you are. <br /><br />I can now imagine how our birth family will be hurting on Friday. On the flip side, this was the first time in our nine married Christmases that my husband and I got to hang three stockings instead of two. We both cried and laughed. I like how you put it - this Christmas morning we'll be much more obsessed with the gift we got last April than the gifts we'll get that morning. <br /><br />As always, thanks for sharing.Lara Zierke https://www.blogger.com/profile/14678809883294746934noreply@blogger.com
