Tomorrow, Tomorrow!

Dear Ethan,
What a whirlwind of the last 522 days. I still remember sitting on the porch steps and receiving that phone call. We had been praying for a sibling/friend for Asher and I don't know how the Lord could have answered that prayer more exact. You have been dealt a pretty rough hand so early on in your life.I know that you still don't fully understand what happened that could pull you from the life you once knew, trusted and people you loved to a completely new family and lifestyle with us. I know you miss another mom, other brothers and a sister. People you lived with for the first 4 years of your life. I know that we will not replace the feelings you have for those special people in your heart. I hope I'm not trying to make you.
There is a quote from the soothsayer in Kung Fu Panda that I've loved. "Your story may not have such a happy beginning but that doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be!"
I promise to be the best mom I can be. I want to help you become the best you. The design of our Heavenly Father, because I know He has sent you here. I see your kind heart, your quiet way with people and your desire to do what's right. I know you have potential for great things and I'm excited to watch you grow.
Someone recently compared adoptions as a mix between a birthday and a funeral. As long as this may feel like a struggle, I hope to make it through together.
You are so loved by so many. I love you! Honestly I'm pretty dang excited for tomorrow. You add a beautiful dynamic to our crazy, and now I can't imagine it without you.
Sweet dreams little E-man. Until tomorrow. I love you forever.
