It is good to read things like this to remind us all of the different journeys we are on..you guys are such amazing people and we pray often that you will get to have a little baby in your arms soon (or that you will reach your "Australia":)Crescenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723838386644954378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-6645327548029967332010-10-17T17:47:35.484-06:002010-10-17T17:47:35.484-06:00What a cool analogy, sis!

I agree with her about the image of you in the airport. And the part about when people say "Be happy you didn't go by plane." It is so easy to say insensitive things when you don't know what to say, so I like reminders like that one. Love you sis! We are all praying for you.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16898120137965340152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-76390875706953385532010-10-17T17:24:09.186-06:002010-10-17T17:24:09.186-06:00I've seen a similar metaphor titled "Welc...I've seen a similar metaphor titled "Welcome to Holland"- about giving birth to a child with a disability, Holland wasn't where you were planning to go, but lovely nonetheless in a different way. <br /><br />I am waiting for your trip to Australia!!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695767990827770989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-46666596083905662922010-10-13T18:22:51.986-06:002010-10-13T18:22:51.986-06:00Love it.

Something like ... well, I'm sure I'll think of something.<br /><br />And I think that the longer your trip to Australia, the more you appreciate being there. You are going to love Australia, and I hope you get there soon!Jill Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077847438322979630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-20734704252941017432010-10-13T14:24:59.796-06:002010-10-13T14:24:59.796-06:00You are the sweetest sister, Sary, and you actuall...You are the sweetest sister, Sary, and you actually are pampering me, even from far away!

No one thinks to pamper you on the boat, I know, but I hope you know that there are many of us who are praying for you and love you and would be pampering you every day like a huge pregnant woman if only we lived close enough!Sarah McKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626106108082905185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-83039701668944990652010-10-13T12:27:53.729-06:002010-10-13T12:27:53.729-06:00What a great metaphor.

Wrinkles and gray hair?<br /><br />In any case, when you get there, I can't wait to swap Australia stories. I KNOW you'll have some good ones.Bosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223368339440617941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125062620228335013.post-52208869054567489542010-10-13T08:44:10.005-06:002010-10-13T08:44:10.005-06:00what a wonderful metaphor Rach. . .
