Spreading the Love Award

My dear friend Tanya Jones named me as one of her "Spreading the Love" award recipients and I was so touched.
So now it is my turn to "Spread the Love" to those who have been a blessing to me.
The first award goes to my husband. Patrick is truly a saint of man. He is patient and kind. He is an amazing father to Maya Lily and a wonderful husband to me.
The second award goes to my best friend Jill. She has just become a mother and I know that she will do a great job with Liam. Jill was there for me throughout our entire adoption process and has been there for me ever since.
The third one goes to my Nana. Even though she has been gone for almost 20 years--I know that she is watching over me and guiding me long life's journey. She taught me so much and I am forever grateful to her.
The fourth one goes to all of the moms and dads who are still waiting for the forever babies. I know you have all endured a tremendous wait time--but the best is yet to come. So I am sending you some love-especially to Lori and Andy--who are hopefully in the next batch.
The last one goes to Maya's birth mother. I send her my love for she has given me the greatest gift of all.

Now it is your turn to "Spread The Love"
