Later today she suddenly started to cry, and told Emily she wanted to go to Ethiopia and see Kebebush. We have one tiny photo of her, so I made larger copies for both girls to put in their photo albums, which they both hugged to themselves.
Tonight at bedtime, Tom and I each rocked a twin as they sobbed over the loss of Kebebush.
My heart just broke for them.

Oh how sad, but you know that they were loved by her and that is what matters. Hopefully there is a way for them to keep in touch with her.
Paula, that breaks my heart but at the same time I am glad to hear that they are mourning. I know it is am important part of transition. I am so thankful that they have you and your husband to hold them as they cry.
Paula,
I am just now sitting down during my summer and spending time looking at my blogs and I read your last few entries. I am reminded of what an amazing role you are playing in these young girl's lives. Don't grow weary in dong good. I can't imagine doing two at a time, but you are doing an amazing job! These girls have such pretty smiles. Remind them of that when they pout. :) It was so good to catch up on your life.
OMG this is heart breaking!!! Hang in there Paula
Oh Paula...
What a heartbreaking moment. I am so happy that during this transition time that they have you and Tom. You are their mommy, you are the one who wipes their tears and holds them close. I am thankful they have their great aunt to remember and love... the healing can begin!
