Emma's Voice

I'm up early this morning thinking of all I need to do before we leave, but mostly I'm thinking of Emma. For months now I've waited for the day I could see her, touch her, and hear her voice. Everytime another family would travel to get their child and would tell me about Emma, I always wanted to ask "but what about her voice?" Maybe it's because what we say tells us about the heart or maybe it's because someones voice can bring comfort and ease when nothing else will. In just a matter of a few days we'll step out from behind the glass that has only been pictures without sound and hear each other. What will she say, what will she be thinking? I don't know exactly what that moment will be like, but I do know I'll love that voice!

So now it's back to the details of the day, but my heart is carrying her in such a huge way. If I don't post again from home, I'll post from China!
