The Bells

"Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground."- Judith Thurman

I was going to post this right before we went into have our little boy, but when we went into the hospital wednesday night, we didn't know we were there to stay till the baby came.

I first read this quote on a little card that was stuck in a magazine when I was maybe thirteen years old, and even at that young age it struck me so stongly that I took it out and still have it to this day. My thirteen year old self totally related and felt that way. I felt there were things in my future, though I didn't know what they were that I was longing for and even homesick for. I have often felt that ways since as well. I look back now and see that it was things like my independance, the gospel in my life, and my eternal companion Dan that I was homesick for.

When we started trying to get pregnant I think this feeling really started to grow, but I didn't recogize it till this last week for what it was..that I was homesick for my baby, though I'd never had him before. I know I was meant to have this precious treasure in my life just at this time and I'm so thankful and happy that he's here now and that I don't have to wait or long for him anymore!

I love you Gus!
