What a journey the past two weeks have been! We have had highs and lows but now we can
look back at them with gratitude. God
has been amazing during this time. Belle
was taken care of by many people in different ways and then the incredible
turnaround with Primrose during my desperate pleas for God’s intervention. Needless to say, it has been mind-blowing
what all has occurred.
Looking at the trip that was ahead of us as we were
about to travel back home, I was slightly concerned with how Primrose would
handle flying. Not only has she never
flown before, but to be confined to a plane for 13 hours was my biggest
concern. But, she was GREAT! She got fussy for just a little on the plane
but slept most of the trip. To top it
off, the man that was in the 3rd seat on our row voluntarily moved
to an empty seat to give us more room. We
could not have asked for a better behaved child on each flight. She was AWESOME!
Coming home to the “Welcoming Committee” was
wonderful. It gave us an energy boost
that we needed. But probably the most
overwhelming blessing through all of this is your participation in our journey. As I would look at the blog dashboard it
would show me how many people have read it each day, and I was blown away. The number of FB shares, comments, and likes
our blog links received was such an encouragement as well. But today, The Satchers were trending on FB…
ok not really but it felt like it. All
the pictures that were posted from the airport and then the tremendous
outpouring of support has made today one of the most incredible of my
life. Social Media gets a bad rap,
understandably so, most of the time but it is times like these that the good
side of FB is revealed.
So let me just say on behalf of our family of four, “Thank
you!” Thank you for caring for us enough
to read about our journey of adoption. Thank
you for your encouraging words. Thank
you for your prayers. Thank you for
clicking the “like” button. Thank you!
Watching Belle and Primrose interact as sisters today has been really cool. I cannot wait to share this journey with you all as well. Stay Tuned!
Your journey has taken me back to our own just 2 years ago. There so many emotions packed into such a short time that it can be overwhelming, and all the prayers and support mean the world to you. I'm so glad I had the privilege of praying for your family during this time. Please know that I will continue!
