Goodbye Sweet Princess...

Seeing JuneBug with her family last night and again this morning has truly brought us all comfort. They are phenomenal and there is no doubt she will flourish in their loving home. The sky is the limit for our little pixie.

As ya'll can imagine, saying goodbye wasn't easy but there were tears of joy mixed in with the sad ones. Her family is so grateful and we are confident they will stay in touch. We know we were just a little part of God's big plan for JuneBug and consider it an honor being her bridge from what was to what is meant to be.

And now the house is quiet. Really quiet. Today I will do nothing more than watch chick flicks, stay in my comfies and enjoy a glass (or two) of chilled Pinot Gris later this afternoon. I was hoping to be motivated to get something accomplished but the reality is that's just not happening. I am absolutely spent .. mentally, physically, emotionally.

The tank is empty.

Tomorrow a little piece of my heart will board a plane. Up up up in the clouds and away. I will forever miss her sassy attitude, hysterical sense of humor and, most of all, being her Mommy Lady. What a privilege.

Goodbye sweet darling.. Mommy Wissa, Daddy and Nana will love you always.

Reflections...

I will never forget the day we met and clearly remember the very moment I first laid eyes on you. Cute as a button, not so sure about Nana (Nantie) and me and hanging close to Rosie (your first Foster Mommy). But you felt safe and warmed up quickly..

My heart melted.

In no time at all you became the Princess that reigns over all.. (even Cassie)..

No, it has not been an easy journey and we had our fair share of bumps in the road. Okay, pretty big pot holes .. but that is to be expected. My hope of hopes is your little soul will remember the good times and know we did our very best by you.

I don't know what I'll miss the most but hanging in our jammies on Saturday mornings will be one, for sure. I loved having my baby girl right by my side and not being rushed (okay, the sippy cup getting slammed on my keyboard and ruining my "r" .. not so much.. but everything else for sure-LOL).


You will spend time with your family today and tonight will be our last night together. Your newest journey begins (plane trip and all) but this time you're going home. For good. We know you will be cherished, safe, healthy and happy. Honestly, knowing how bright your future will be is what's getting me through this. I pray the Good Lord watches over you and your family and peace comes to your heart soon.

Ours, too.
