I know, I know, I have not blogged for a very long time, but here I am. First of all, Happy Belated Holidays, Happy New Year, Happy 3 Kings Day, etc.
How do I even begin?
We started out our Christmas having a Mass in the name of our little angel Bibiana. That was on December 22, 8 days after her birthday. She would have been 2. It was very beautiful, and it was nice having Sebastián with us for the first time in his sister's mass. We sort of felt like they were meeting each other for the first time, very surreal.
Then on December 23, we celebrated my godson's bday, Esteban. It was so much fun to see both Sebastián and Esteban together.
Sebastián had his first Christmas and Three King's Day. That was a lot of fun, especially since it helped a lot in the heailng process. We had something to get us excited in Christmastime, and the air and energy in the house felt incredible. Sebastián opened his presents in Christmas day. Of course, he was a lot more excited with the wrappings and the boxes, but what can one do? He is huge, and is already 8.5 months old. Such a beautiful and happy baby.
For New Year's Eve, we went to my MIL's house and celebrated. A lot of fun!
My brother Jaime was also in town with his girlfriend Lisa, who is from Brazil and we already love. We had a lot of fun, and it is very nice to see my brother so happy.
Then on January 2, it was Bibiana's 2nd angel anniversary. Not much to say about that. Even if things have gotten a lot better regarding the healing process, I don't think one day will ever go by without my thinking about our little angel. I know she is watching over all of us, and that feels nice.
All in all, it was a beautiful Christmas, except for the fact that the adoption process seems to be getting longer, and longer and yet longer. I just hope it is the Olympics and things get back to normal after the Summer. Some days I feel as if I can no go on waiting. As of tomorrow, we will have been LID'ed for 16 months, and it looks like we are only halfway into the wait. However, I know Sebastián's little Mei Mei is in China, so Mei Ling Mercedes, we love you and will keep on waiting. Just hope one day you read this and you will know that even if we still have not physically still met, mama and baba already love you very much. You are already our daughter, and that is what counts.
