Our shattered dreams are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story.

Hope and Grief


Nothing to spectacular, just a finger painting of our amazing hope in the midst of our grief! Over the course of our adoption journey we have had two possible children, and yet for various reason both have not ended up with us, and yet with all of this going on we have the amazing blessing of our little "Joy Bug"!

By the way finger painting is totally the best! I love how it is messy. Your hands get covered in paint, you feel it mushing between your fingers. Sometimes you forget that your hands are covered in it and you touch your hair or face and oops, paint all over! I think it is metaphoric or our lives and the the healing process, or the grieving process. It is not all neat and tidy. It is messy at times!

I love your painting Leanne; what a cool way to express your thoughts and feelings. Any idea where you're going to put it?
