Dearest Elizabeth Rose,
Today was your very first Easter. But you didn't get to come to church with us to celebrate the risen King. There were no pretty dresses, and your Easter basket sat empty in our room. Our hearts were heavy today because you weren't with us. But sweet girl, we shared all about you with anyone willing to listen. You were on our minds all day as we wondered what special things you might get to do with your nanny at the orphanage. And we smiled, knowing that although this is your very first Easter, it is also your very last one without your mommy and daddy. This time of waiting is hard for all of us, but God is preparing our hearts and our family and friends for something big. Because you are amazing, sweet girl. God has big plans for your life, and we can't wait to bring you home and see where He leads you.
We love you so very much,
Mommy and Daddy
