How I Will Love You

I will love you with little notes written just for you, and hidden where only you will find them.

I will love you with surprise hugs, and buying your favorite dinner without you asking.

I will love you with clean laundry, and family breakfast on Sundays.

I will love you with silly stories and songs that I will make up to sing to you.

I will love you with surprises on your birthday.

I will love you with forts made out of blankets, movie nights, and long walks.

I will love you with a million (and one) nicknames that only you and I understand.

I will love you with conversations had only with our eyes, and inside jokes.

I will love you with my whole heart.

I will love you with intention.

I will love you so well.

Because this is how we love here, in this home. In your home.

And we love you already.

We graduated from our foster parent/adoption class yesterday. Now we move on to the home study. One step closer to a dream coming true – for them, and for us. One step closer to building our family.

Thank you for all of your love. xo
