This morning, as you opened your tiny eyes, you awoke to an ordinary day...without stories of a baby in a manger...
without Christmas cookies or gingerbread houses...
without packages to unwrap or new toys to play...
without the screech of a brother who couldn't wait to tear into his presents...
without the sight of your sister coming down the stairs on Daddy's arm...
without a bedtime kiss and Mommy's "I love you" whispered in your ear...
Through each of these moments I thought of you. Though I know you are not aware of the significance of this day, I find it hard to erase the thoughts of you from my mind. You are there. We are here. I am praying with all of my heart that today is the one and only Christmas you will ever spend without the love of a family within your reach.
Please, God, let her be home by Christmas...
