Good Choice
So for whatever reason – life is crazy I guess is the main one – until last night, I still hadn’t managed to get together with our friends who were doubly blessed after six (or was it eight?) failed adoptions by adopting a child 7 months ago and then having their own biological child about 3 months ago, so I’d only seen their beautiful adorable daughters via photo. But last night, they were at church! (They normally go to another church closer to their house, but had missed their regular mass Saturday night, so decided to come down and see us.)
The funny thing was that I was going back and forth about going to church at all because I didn’t know if I felt like it, but finally – almost at the last minute really – I decided to go. I guess I just knew somehow that I needed to be there. So, I finally got to see their pretty little girls. They look very happy and they make a good team. You pretty much have to have a team with two children under the age of one that are at different developmental levels. They said they often wonder if it would be easier if they were twins rather than having one crawling around at breakneck speed and one that can’t sit up yet. They will be in the same grade in school because the younger one just makes the cutoff date. But they favor each other enough (isn’t it weird how that works out sometimes?) that after they catch up to each other in size, people will probably just think they are fraternal twins.
Anyway, I wanted to share that with you guys because I know many of you prayed for them and I wanted you to know those prayers were beautifully answered. All babies are blessings and all babies are miracles, but I definitely think that in this case one can be called an extra blessing and one can be called an extra miracle. I really love happy endings. :)
