Tomorrow, Tomorrow...

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love you Tomorrow, you're only a day away!!!!!!

I don't think I have ever anticipated a day more. No birthdays or Christmases (ok maybe my wedding day because ultimately that led us to here) but no day truly compares to this dearly desired day of bringing our sweet baby girl home from the hospital. Tonight, John and I are spending out last night in the hospital with our baby girl. Riley has been a wonderful place to be and has given my daughter everything she needs, but now she needs to be home. I have butterflies. My eyes go instantly misty thinking about that drive home. There are no real words to express the excitement John and I have about being able to finally start writing that new chapter of our lives we had start so long ago. 110 days ago to be exact. We are ready. The instant we pull in the drive and see our home and walk through that door I may weep like a baby. I may need to be the one carried into our home:) Being able to bring Sophia home is a miracle I am so honored to be given and to share with my husband. Getting Sophia home has been half of the battle. So many times the odds were against her and her recovery days many. Sophia has climbed that mountain and we have now reach the point, the plateau that leads us to home. Though Sophia's journey may not be over, she has conquered so much already. She has made it home. So goodbye Riley, we are forever indebted to your hospitality, your knowledge, your compassion and your people. But for tonight, Sophia, John and I will be quietly sitting and smiling as we imagine what tomorrow may bring. Tonight will be our last night in Riley. Tomorrow we are going home. 

Prayers for safe travels home tomorrow and that everything goes smoothly as we transition to our new "home" lives. 

Sophia, I hope you love your new bedroom....it's been waiting for you!
