“Good
morning Macy! Ready to sign these papers and take your daughter home for the
first time?!?” She asked in complete and utter excitement!
“More
than anything! I am so excited Lia! I am shaking!” She reached out and embraced
Lia in an enthusiastic hug. They sat down and signed papers as fast as
possible, they were both so thankful for this all coming together, it was
perfect timing, now Egypt would get to have Christmas with her own family!
“We are
done signing papers Macy... congratulations, i’ll go get her darling,” Lia said
in a very comforting voice, relief blanketed Macy and Lia, they were both so
happy, and so ready for this to finally happen.
Out
of the bedroom came Egypt, with tears welling up in her eyes, she dropped her
little suitcase with her doll and few personal items in it, and she ran and
jumped into Macy’s arms. She embraced her so tightly, and just squeezed her,
holding back tears was now impossible, unrealistic, she just couldn’t do it.
Tears were flowing out of everybody’s eyes, Macy finally had a little girl, everything
was ok, life was perfect.
“Thank
you so much Lia, for helping me with this, and being so supportive and helpful,
you are so amazing, and I will take good care of her, and I will love her so
much, I promise.” Macy humbly expressed her gratitude to Lia one more time.
“Are
you ready to go sweetheart?” She asked Egypt.
“I’ve
been ready for years mommy!” Macy wanted to cry again, she was a mommy, it felt
so amazing to be called that, and to have someone that she could love
unconditionally.
They
left the shelter and gave one last wave out the window to Lia as they drove
away, it was the most amazing feeling Macy had ever experienced, to have a
daughter of her own.
ooh! I love the last line especially! You make it so relatable (like I want to run out an adopt a little girl right now!) So good!
