Dearest Avery Lin,
This is our second Christmas without you, and it's hard. We think about you all the time and in every dream, or day dream you are always there. We dream about filling stockings, and doing Christmas cookie baking with you. Listening to Christmas music, watching Christmas movies, while decorating the tree with you. Sharing family traditions and making new traditions with you. We know you probably aren't born yet, but you are and have been born in our hearts for quite some time. We dream about and see a little girl with almond eyes, and little black pig tails, with a smile and a giggle that make us smile from ear to ear. We see a bubbly little girl who is loving and adored by all. We see you dancing around the house and holding poses so that you make sure to catch our eye to see if we are paying attention. We hear you say Mommy & Daddy, and say, "Wo ai ni", I love you in Chinese, as we say it back, and hugs, the hugs are what I look forward to, I long for those little hugs and kisses. We long to have you with us but understand that this process takes time, but we wish for a miracle... that time speeds up and brings you to us sooner.
You are our daughter, God has specially picked you for us. You grew in our hearts and we never knew our hearts could grow so big. So, this Christmas although hard for us, we will hold on to the thought of you, and our special memories to come. We will put your gifts under the tree and then in your room, where they will wait until your arrival. We know you'll love ladybugs and pandas, and be as curious as can be. We will thank the heavens for every moment spent with you. We will thank God every day that he has sent you to us, and us to you.
So Merry Christmas Avery Lin Newton wherever you may be. Right now you remain in our hearts, and our dreams will hold us tight, until the day we see you and proclaim you our daughter and us a family forever.
Merry Christmas - Sheng Dan Kuai Le
Love you forever, more than words can say, and can't wait to meet you and be with you,
Love,
Mommy and Daddy-MaMa & BaBa

That was beautiful...Avery Lin is so lucky and blessed to have you two for parents! Can't wait to meet her...we're praying that God will shorten the time until you go to get her. We have been so overwhelmed with everything that has been happening here in our life that regretfully we have not been reading your blogs lately. I'm glad I read this tonight. And Gary, Happy Birthday on Friday the 19th. Your card is in the mail but doubt it will get to you in time. Hope it's a happy one. We love and miss you both. Love, Aunt Cathy & Uncle Larry
