Went to my eldest daughter's spring sing last night. Little did I know that one of the children's songs (by Raffi) would touch my heart:"All I really need is a song in my heart,
food in my belly,
and love in my family.
All I really need is a song in my heart,
and love in my family."
Sitting between my mom and my grandmother, watching the fourth generation of the girls in my family singing with animated expression, with a little boy from halfway around the world standing on his Pop-Pop's lap proudly pointing at his sister Elli and knowing another very newly Ethiopiadoptive family was sitting two rows behind me crashed all over me and brought me to tears.We have it so good. We have all we need. AND MORE. And now so does my little guy.
