Each picture I look into my daughters eyes and see a million different hopes & dreams!! I also see the pain & tears that come with this journey.
I watch and see her wondering what the future holds and wondering when she will be able to go home again.
I see the want of freedom..........freedom from medicine....freedom from hospital visits.....freedom from procedures.......freedom to just be a little girl.........freedom to be able to go back home.
Yesterday was a tough day for me. Jordyn said to me " I feel so tight mommy". I asked her what she meant by that. She said " I just want to be free from these gates....I feel closed in andI just want to go back home and be a normal girl."
I sat and thought to myself....Such powerful words from a 9 year old girl!
All she longs for is life beyond these gates.
She longs for a life of happiness with her family.
I do believe that life happens exactly how it is suppose to and how it is meant to be. I just pray everyday that God will grant my daughter freedom like a soaring dove....freedom to spread her wings.......freedom so she can be able to take the Road Back Home soon! Home to Jordyn is Happiness!!
Until then, my promise to her and my family is to remain strong, embrace each day full of love and hope, and take each day one at a time, remembering that each day is one day closer to bringing my daughter home........Home to a lifetime full of Love & Happiness!
You girls are amazing! Stay strong, and come home soon. We are all waiting for you! I love you both more with each day, and each challenge that I see you go through.
