Care Package

What would you do if you received a care package from a complete stranger? How would you respond? Would you receive it in love no questions asked? This past week, Mike and I sent a care package to our daughter in China. Options for content were endless: camera, film, clothes, baby blanket, goodies, toys, all of the necessities you might say. Our emotions were filled with joy and love...until we got to writing the letter. An intriguing concept to write a letter to your daughter, someone you have never met, love with all of your soul and have been planning to meet for the last 5 years. I found myself, "wondering what in the world are we going to say to her? " Thankfully we utilized the wisdom of others, as we thanked her caretakers, and vowed to give her a different way of life.

Emily, we love you and we will fill you with hugs and kissess on Valentines day.
