Miah's First Dance Recital & Unexpected Emotions

On Saturday Miah had her first dance recital. She was so looking forward to this day...but got a little first time jitters just before the show...her friends Mary and Sylvie were not able to make it and she was lacking that special friend to hang with. With a little pep talk and assigning her to one of the Jr helpers (Thanks Neve!) she regained some of that confidence and she did great! She was so proud of herself!

Mommy was so proud of her sweet Chinese ballerina.  I remember years ago while we were waiting for Miah's referral we were at a dance recital for our older girls.  There was one Chinese girl performing that day. I couldn't help dream of the day when I would be watching my our Chinese daughter dance on stage.  As I was watching Miah I was overwhelmed with emotion, trying so hard to not start crying right there amongst the crowd.  All I kept thinking about is the mother in China who will never see her sweet child dance and experience the beauty and love she has to offer.  Again I thank God for the blessing of Miah and the gift I have been given to be called her mother.
