Dear Willa~
This will sound ridiculous. It will make me look like a person who I am not. I am reluctant to even bring it up.
The thing is, I saw a ladybug.
A couple weeks ago, your sister and I had been in Boston, and there flew into the car a little ladybug. Your Auntie L remarked that it was the first ladybug she had seen in a long time.
I laughed that maybe we would get good news about Willa.
We didn't, of course.
Earlier today, your dad met a ladybug in his car, and wondered the same thing. But he did not mention anything.
Then, in the actual mailbox - the one at the end of our driveway, not the one that resides on a server somewhere - we received a letter to tell us that we are officially on our way.
Our Letter of Intent was mailed to China on July 21.
Now we wait to for approval.
We wait, and I look at your photo and try hard to keep myself from shouting about this all over town.
These next few months will be so hard.
I can't wait to smell your head.
