A few days after we received Megan, I heard a song on the radio that made me tear up. It's a song I've heard dozens of times and always loved it, but now it has deep meaning for me. It's actually a love song, but it describes how I feel about the journey we went through to receive precious Megan.
You might know the song. It's a country tune by Rascal Flatts called "Bless the Broken Road." I'm listing the lyrics, but changing a few words (in italics.)

Bless The Broken Road
I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find a child along the broken road
But I got hurt a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Trials that broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing you on your way into my loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes He did
I think about the time I spent crying by the wall
The years it took to get you here; you are worth it all.
But you just smile and take my hand
You always knew, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that has now come true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Birthmothers who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing you on your way into my loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
And now you have come here, home, into your mother's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Hoping I would find a child along the broken road
But I got hurt a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Trials that broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing you on your way into my loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes He did
I think about the time I spent crying by the wall
The years it took to get you here; you are worth it all.
But you just smile and take my hand
You always knew, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that has now come true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Birthmothers who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing you on your way into my loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
And now you have come here, home, into your mother's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now that I'm tearing up all over again, I just have to say: I love you, Megan.

Sobs..... I LOVE it ;) Totally applicable!
That's sweet. I've been singing that song to my daughter too since she was teeny tiny. With some changed words too. :) I love how you changed the words, perfect!! Just like her!
Oh, Harmsy! Your posts are always so sweet but I just love that one because during all those trials you went through, I found that song too and thought how it applied/could apply to your situation... I thought about mentioning it to you a few times but then each time it would fall through again. I hadn't listened to it again since you've had Meg in your arms and I love your version; it's perfect!
Oh, and love the picture!
