A very special video

Over Christmas, my sister-in-law (thank you!) made the most amazing video about Sienna's journey to us.  Warning: you may cry.

The lyrics of the first song are most poignant (from Norah Jones, "Seven Years"):

"Spinning, laughing, dancing to
Her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone

Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
That comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
She's a little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone"

She's alone no more!

  3. Okay...I will admit it...I cried a little. It is just too close to home...we have a daughter through embryo donation who was created and frozen the year before we met....I am a true believe that God chooses the souls for us long before we are ever here and then we just have to find our way to them either through naturaly procreation, adoption, embryo adoption, marriage...whatever...I truly believe Genevieve is the daughter God had planned for us all along and that our biological son was also planned just the same way. Thank you for sharing. I LOVE this.
