Gracie girl now {1st post from our China trip}

5.23.16

This sweet child has her own following (and rightfully so). So, she gets her own post just of glimpses of her sweetness.

I confess that my heart broke a little when she gave me that scowl and pulled away, leaning back into her mama and making it abundantly clear that I was only good for the sunglasses she wanted to try on. But, in that same moment, I am also overwhelmingly thankful that she has that deep connection to her mama and that their family is what it is. And, when I feel that, my heart no longer breaks for her not remembering me but for all those who don’t have that connection yet.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
