Next Easter?

Dear Macey,
 It is almost Easter! On Sunday we will celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ! Easter is the day that we recognize that God raised Jesus from the dead and took Him to reign in heaven forever as our Father. Somewhere in the process of history, we came up with Easter eggs and an Easter Bunny! I guess possibly because Easter is equated with Springtime. I'm not quite sure, but I will research it so I can teach you. Anyhow, as each holiday passes this year, I can't help but wonder, the next time it comes around will you be with us? Next Easter will there be a little easter basket for you? Will the Easter Bunny fill it with goodies and treats for you? Will you be with us so that we can hide a few little eggs for you to find? Maybe you'll be too little for that yet? Will we get to dress you up in an extra pretty dress and put a big bow in your hair? Will you be here, so that we can all go to church together that day? Will we take you next Easter to celebrate the resurrection of the Savior of the world? Will that be the first year we get to tell you about the miracle God performed by rolling the stone away from Jesus's grave and proclaiming that Jesus is ALIVE!! ?  We pray that you will be here. We pray that next Easter you will be waking up here, in your home. Only God knows that answer and we trust him fully to bring you in his time.
 Even still, I am once again checking the mail like a crazy woman. Everytime I open the mailbox I peek in and move the pieces of mail around to see if I see the approval letter. It is the very last peice of paper that we need to move forward with our reuqest for you. One simple piece of paper. It will come, I know. It is so hard waiting sometimes though. I should pray for more patience. I will. The day is coming Macey, that we will get to hold you and kiss your precious face. What a wonderful thought that is!
We love you Macey!
