Risk

You know the saying, "It’s better to love than never to love at all."

I took the risk, I loved with all my heart, I was hurt and I can tell you that every moment was worth it. It is terrifying to love a child so small there is a huge change you will lose them. Some pretend they didn't exist, hide the tears, wish it wouldn't have happened...

I can't do that.

I love both of my children no matter where they reside because in the long run we all have the same Home. Whether this baby is staying here or going Home doesn't change that this is my child. I love my children that are scattered across the earth. I love God's children that call Africa home.

I took the risk and I loved.
