This Time Last Year.....

There was a little beautiful girl in China, waiting for her mommy, daddy, and sister to come get her. She did not know us then, but she felt our kisses that we sent her every night. Many times Qian Wen Bo would feel something wet on her cheeks. She knew she was not crying. She felt really special when she felt this on her cheeks. Those was the kisses we was sending her.
She felt hands holding her and giving her comfort when she was sad, hungry, cold, or just needing love. (That was God's angels)
She knew that something was going to happen soon. She had a special nanny that kept telling her she was getting a family soon. Wenbo did not understand that. Wenbo did not know that in a country far away, called America that her mommy, daddy, and sister was getting ready to come get her. Wenbo did not know she had friends, family, and special grandparents who wanted her home. She did not know how loved she was.
Wenbo had special nanny's who did their best to care for her. Wenbo had friends that she played with sometimes. In fact she had so many friends that it was hard for the nanny's to give her all the attention she needed. Sometimes that made Qian Wenbo sad. She wanted her diaper changed right then. She wanted her bottle right then, but she had to wait. Many times she would lay in her little bed and play by herself. Wenbo would be feeling sad and she would start to cry. Then she would feel something special sweep across her face and she would feel happy. ( Our Kisses) Wenbo liked to sit in her walker.

She felt she had some freedom as she would try to scoot across the floor.
One day Wenbo was so cold. She did not understand why it was so cold and dark. She had tons of clothes on her, but she was cold and everything seemed so dark. Wenbo was also feeling her nose start to run and her cheeks felt like they was on fire. She kept hearing the nanny's say that is was snowing outside and that the power was out. Wenbo was scared. She was feeling so lonely. She really needed her family, that the nanny told her about. Where was these people? Wenbo felt something touch her cheek again. She started feeling a little better. Maybe the nanny was right. Maybe soon Wenbo was going to have a new family.

Yes, the nanny was right, Wenbo had a family that was Oceans a part, and worlds away. They was coming soon to bring her home.

Don't all good stories have a happy ending?
