WOW

I can't believe the last 48 hours. We flew to Miami. Sat in the Miami International Airport, concourse G, from 8:45pm until 7:30am the next morning. It is a long story, so I won't bore you with details, but I will always remember that concourse. Eventually we were escorted to a conference room where we sat for another another two hours. I smelled bad, looked bad, but the move did give both Kelly and I some energy. And I still don't know how Kelly can look so good after being awake for 30 hours. Anyway, at 9:30am we were told that the children had arrived. They were escorted to the conference room next to us while we were locked (not really locked, but it makes the story better) in our room. Suddenly, Dixie entered the room. She is an amazing women! She told us of the long night of getting the children through immigration. AND THEN...families were called out in groups of four where the were introduced to their families. I was astonished to see many of the children run to their parents and hug them. So many smiles, so much laughter, so many tears. If anyone has a hard time defining love, that scene was it! It was as though an angel had handed us our daughter. Kelly cried. I cried (real men do cry). Time stood still...
