There are now only 28 little glass beads in the jar on the left and most of them are in the jar on the right!! There is light at the end of the tunnel and it's slowly getting brighter. No need to shade my eyes or put on sunglasses just yet but at least I can see the light.Based on an average of 5.8 LIDs covered per month I'm still tracking for a May referral with July travel. It may slow down a bit since there are a lot of people logged in in March but that's ok, Hannah is getting closer and that's all that matters!
Congrats to Ozimum who will be seeing her sweet baby's face next week and to wonderful PIPO who will see her baby girl's face (or, that adorable little 4yo Asian son who speaks Italian that she's been dreaming about) next for sure!! So happy to be celebrating with you friends!
6 days closer and so very thakful! Praising God for the way He continues to bring Hannah together and all that He is teaching me during this process.
So, so close! I'm happy for you.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is very good news. You are a wonderful optimist. I want it to rub off this way.
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting your Positive Vibes out into the world. It's always so needed. I'm so happy that some friends will see their little one next week and others next month...
