Happy Easter Vytas

Dear Vytas,

Baby boy, today is March 31 2013!  And it's Easter Sunday, the very special day when we celebrate Jesus Christ coming back to life!  HE HAS RISEN, the tomb is empty!   My heart was on you many times today Vytas.  I wondered what you where doing and if you even knew it was Easter.  I wished so badly you were with your forever loving family going to Easter Sunday church service, coloring eggs, eating an Easter dinner, hunting eggs, laughing with joy over the things the Easter bunny left you in your basket.  I hope that my wishes will be a sweet reality for you next Easter blonde boy.  I have so much faith in God that He will provide you with a loving, caring, sweet family.  

Christ died on the cross for you baby boy!  YOU!  He knew your name, your personality and loved you enough to die for you so that one day you can live in Heaven with Him.  He died for every single person on earth, He loves everyone.  Regardless of their past present or future.  He loved us all enough to die to SAVE US FROM OUR SIN.  I hope that one day you will get that wonderful Bible story read to you in the arms of your family. :.)

I painted eggs tonight with two of my sisters, Kristen and Madison, I had made a pretty blue one that almost looked like a denim color.  I got a Sharpie marker and wrote your name across the egg and put to hearts on each side.  To let you know, I thought of you today sweet baby.  

Remember that Jesus loves you forever and always, with a love like NO ONE ELSE could ever compare to.  And I also love you, very very much Vytas baby. <3

A Gift For Vytas...

You may already know that I have this thing for Winnie the Pooh stuff, maybe it's because it was my moms nursery theme for me when I was little, and that I grew up watching the shoe. For some reason I've had that theme for Vytas. I didn't really chose it, it sorta just felt right. He instantly seemed like a child that would love Pooh bear!. I bought a Winnie Pooh puzzle for his fundraiser going on now on this blog.

A few months back I saw a knit Winnie Pooh hat that I wanted to get for him. And yeah, I know that I couldn't really "give" it to him while he's the orphanage. BUT I do know that I would be able to give it to him one day when he's found his forever family! I held off on getting it because I'm jobless and the price was a bit too much for me at the time. Last night I went to the section of the store I'd seen the hat for months. And was surprised and sad to see the entire area had been wiped clean out. There were no hats at all. I was upset because I had let it go for too long, I regretted not buying it before it was gone. I went home and was back the next day at the store. And when I was getting ready to check out, I look at a shopping cart full with clearance items. I ran to the cart and started digging and there it was! The gift is been wanting to buy Vytas, the price was perfect. It made me so happy! I purchased the gift, and now I'm continuing to pray that God will send his forever family to him.

Here's the gift I hope to give Vytas one day...

World Down syndrome Day!

Dear Vytas,

Hello sweet baby boy of "mine".  Did anyone tell you what today was?  I wish if anyone, it could have been me or your loving mother and/or father.  I wish I could have scooped you into my arms and kissed those adorable cheeks then whisper softly in your ear "It's your special day..".  Today, 3/21/13 was World Down syndrome Day!  It was your day!  I only wish that your family could have found you before now.  I want so bad to see you happy sweetie.  Oh my heart aches for it.  I want them to hug you and tell you, you are loved.  I wanted them to take you out for something special today, like ice cream or dinner to celebrate you, being you!   Down syndrome doesn't define you, you are your own person. But you having Down syndrome makes you so special to me.  And I know your future family will think the same.  I think it will even be one of the big reasons they adopt you! Well that and your beautiful eyes and precious silk looking blonde hair.    Just wait baby boy!  God has got you in His arms, holding you safe and tight.  Nothing comes to you without first going through God's hands.  He is carrying you through this.  I'm praying for you, and I will pray you home.  I will never give up on you blonde boy.  I know it feels impossible for you to be happy or feel safe in such a horrible place but if only you knew just how MUCH I LOVE YOU.  If only...

One day I know someone will read this to you and you might even read all my letters to you yourself one day!  And you'll see just how much I love you!  And that someone did care for you when you thought no one did.  You're special, you have a purpose!  God made you for a special and perfect plan.  Each little feature was designed with lots of care and love.  You're just Down Right Perfect!

And since I can't tell you this on this actual day,

I will continue to pray and love you Vytas.  Keep fighting little one, I'll do anything to find you, your forever family!  Make no mistake of that.   Keep hope in your little heart.  I love you forever and always.
