The final countdown

10 days to take off!

The Final Countdown is a song from the 80’s and one of my favorite songs by Europe!

Never did it cross my mind that I twice in my life would be counting down to a life changing trip to China. That my ties to China would be this strong because of a little girl named Xia Sunxue.

For 5 month we looked at this photo and finally on October 25th 2007 we met a little scared girl who missed her (foster) family so much. But also could smile!

Today she is 8 years old and has turned in to a wonderful person. She looks forward to go back to Nanning but just as me, she has many butterflies in her stomach. She has no memory of Nanning and really want to go and see the places she used to visit with her family.

Here she is dressed as a cowgirl and as a Chines Princess with a lot of makeup!

  1. For 6½ år siden var jeg i Bjänum og ventede hver dag på et et billed af den lille kinesiske pige Sunxue, som I skulle hente.
    Så kom det, og hvad gjorde jeg , da jeg så det ? det behøver jeg vist ikke at skrive nu 🙂

    At der nu kun er 10 dage, til jeg skal med Linnea og jer to, mine elskede børn, til Kina, er også ufatteligt for mig.

    Det at ” få lov” til at komme med jer og opleve det vi skal, sammen, det bliver SÅ stort, også for mig. Og jeg er meget taknemmelig for, at jeg kan , på alle måder.

    Vi ses snart i Kastrup, skat, så bliver der ro i maven, indtil vi er i Nanning.

    Masser af knus til jer alle tre fra MORMOR 🙂
