I did not anticipate how quickly my mothering instinct for Pearl would set in. I did not know how much my heart would ache to hold her, touch her hair, kiss her cheeks. I feel the emptiness in my arms on a daily basis. And yet, what a gift it is. What a gift that so quickly a new room has opened up in my heart for another child. And how bright the light shines in it - how it leads me to her, keeps me on my knees pleading for her, and fills me with love for the rest of my children.
What gratitude fills my heart.
