The Lodge and Sea Island, Georgia ...


Shade of Jade
(wmg)

Shade of Jade

Almond eyes
full of sleep
About to open
but yet she dreams

of a new awaking...

of soaring above the stars
and her place within the endless sky.

And so she flies …

the darkness behind
parted by the light of her rosebud smile.

the heavens ahead
shine as if gilded by a divine hand.

A pilgrim no more
but home forever… to a love without end.

So as the red moon wanes
the dog-year fades...

a destiny is fulfilled
within a golden shade of jade.

Home Sweet Home



Goldie, Gina and I were showered with love upon our return.


Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Oh - where to begin? Memories for a lifetime.


She is now in our arms forever....

From her Grandma Gitelson....

The first time ever I saw your face…

The first time ever I saw your face

I knew you were sent from a far off place.

To take me home and keep me safe

To shower me with love and grace.


I understand all the wonderful prayers that were made for me

And they really worked …

because I got the best Mommy and Daddy that could ever be!

God has given me a life and a family too

And I feel so special to be chosen by you.

God heard these prayers.

He had a plan.

The first time ever you saw my face

Dad’s eyes welled-up with tears of joy…

and mommy’s smile was so big it crossed the sky.

It really did just cross the sky!!!

God had a plan

I knew before

‘Cause prayers were sent.

Prayers of love and faith and trust

Rose from the heart and were answered from above.

God had a plan.

I woke, first morning, filled with joy

You came to get me…accepted me...care for me

…And I was free!

God had a plan which was meant to be…

I am special…chosen among all the children of the world

to be your one and only little girl.


We just got back from our two and a half week - 20,000 mile journey. I will be uploading new material from the trip for months to come. Her grandparents Sey and Sherry have been smothering her with love. Grandma Christine, Auntie Tina and Susan, and Uncle David will be visiting next week. Gina and I got sick, and I got injured down the stretch .... but the good news is, Goldie is healthy and happy and finally home. .... and the puppies could not be happier.
