Beautiful! "Olivia was placed on my chest first, followed by Zoe who reached out her left arm in preparation to hug her sister. They both just laid on my chest & snuggled up to each other for a while. Everything was perfect-we finally felt like a family."
"One of the lessons I've learned on this journey is that you can't control any of this. You can only control how you react to it. I choose to be grateful for what I have & do my best every day to hold on to it." -
