I grew up watching the Wizard of Oz and loved it!! I remember it showing on T.V. once a year - this was way way before Tivo and rented movies....Lord, I am aging myself!! My Mom bought me ToTo (the small cute dog) stuffed animal and I remember bringing it everywhere with me - it was my favorite toy. I loved the music, the dancing and the story. I think what I loved most about it was the adventure that Dorothy went on....seriously, she was a little bored on the farm and she had the most exciting experience!!
I never gave too much thought to her always wanting to go home - I mean seriously, she just got there - right?! She kept saying how long it had been and how desperate she was to get home - She basically got there and wanted to go right back home!!
This is so much like my life now - I can totally relate!! I am having the adventure of a life-time but want so badly to go home!! I of course, have some of my family here and I am so enjoying them but so many times throughout the day, I hear and feel things that I want to share with home - it's all so difficult!
Everyday Martita becomes more of my daughter - I heard her and Lucie just belly - laughing today and thought "we are so blessed to have her in our lives" - So many people tell us how unselfish we are to be adopting our girl - But we haven't sacrificed anything. Having Martita in our family is a BLESSING TO US!!! She is a joy and we love her so dearly.
This time, right now, in Nicaragua - away from my husband and daughter, is the sacrifice. This is what we are willing to pay for our girl. I want so badly to click my flip-flops together and be home!! As my Mom advices.....I'm taking a day at a time and always remembering that there is no place like home!!!
