Elsie

June 11, 2011

 We get to go home today, friends. So much has happened in the last few days– there are just so many things to say and remember, so much on my mind and heart.  But of course, there’s been very little time to type it out or even say it.  If all the words and stories could be all wrapped up tight, swaddled like my tiny newborn and tucked in, they would only say one thing. 

Elsie.

Elsie.

Maybe there will be time and space for writing some of the stories out in the weeks to come, maybe not. I don’t know yet…

Elsie.

:::

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your congratulations and thoughts and prayers and love from all around the worldwide interweb. You are loved right back.

Elsie, Elsie, Elsie, Elsie,
What do you think, little lady? Let’s go home to your brothers.
