This will be my last blog post from China. In a few hours we will be heading to Hong Kong in a van. The trip will take about 3 hours. In the morning we will start the last leg of our trip home. We fly to Japan with a 3 hour lay-over then about a 13 hour flight home. If all goes well we will be landing in Houston around 1:30 pm Friday afternoon. Can't wait!!
Please pray for a safe and peaceful journey home. I'm going to end my blog posting here with a poem that I found.
~Legacy of An Adopted Child ~
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other.
One you do not remember,
The other you call mother.
Two different lives
Shaped to make yours one,
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life,
And the second taught you to live it.
And the first gave you a need for love,
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality.
The other gave you a name.
One gave you the seeds of talent,
The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile,
The other dried your tears.
Once gave you up,
It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child,
And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears,
The age old question through the years.
Heredity or environment, Which are you a product of?
Neither, my Darling, Neither,
Just two different kinds of love.
