The Big Day

Today is the day. One that has been 19 months in the making. My best friend Teri will be meeting her daughter Elliana for the first time. Teri met, "A" (Ellie's mom) on December 6th. On December 7th she asked if Teri and Howie would adopt her baby girl. The past several months have been filled eager anticipation.
Last evening Teri, Howie and their daughter Gabi arrived in Indianna in honor of today's big event. As I type this, "A" is currently delivering little Ellie via c-section. My prayers are with each of them. For a safe deliver. For peace during this emotional time. For healing for "A". And for a beautiful, long and wonderful life for sweet little Elliana.
