Even though I haven't set my alarm for the past few days and I have been going to bed much lately, I have been waking up right around 5:30 a.m. Is God preparing my body for not much sleep in the next coming day? I love my quiet time in the house in the morning. I have this feeling that in the next few days there may not be much quiet time or who knows at what hours in the day our quiet times will come?
I should be ecstatic that my countdown reads 0 days and 18 hours, but I am feeling something quite different. Today if it hasn't happened already will be dropped back off at KSS and she will say goodbye to her foster family. I can't imagine what she is thinking? How can you explain a nine month old that everything will be okay and all this going on will result in a very good thing. We are so thankful for the love and care Hannah's foster family provided while she was in their care. The foster family will always hold a special place in our hearts. Then, the escort will come to complete the last of the paperwork and take Hannah to the airport. Tonight at 10:00 p.m. our time they will leave Seoul and fly to Tokyo. From Tokyo they will fly into Detroit on Northwest Flight #26. They are scheduled to land at 1:40 p.m. What a long flight!
So, today, I do not feel much excitement, I feel concern, sadness, and worry that Hannah will handle the transition with ease. I pray that Hannah finds peace and comfort as she is out in the arms of her escort to be brought to her mom and dad who have been waiting for so long to hold her.
Now at 10:00 p.m. I will probably feel excitement. She will be in the air making her journey to us. I remember almost two year ago watching on the computer, tracking the same flight, only on June 7/8, 2005. What a feeling to see this little dot representing the flight that is carrying some very special cargo! Yes, tonight at 10:00 p.m. I will feel excitement for so many things.
