Somewhere in this city is my daughter going about her daily routine. Too young to realize that her life will soon change.

And nights bright days when dreams do show thee to me.

Like Renee, I love the Dragon city because yoli's baby is there, but soon will be with Yoli. How lucky you both are :-).xoxo
What a wonderful post! So great that you have this knowledge of your child - how exciting! The Lamartine quote is exactly how I feel too.
When do you actually go to receive her? How do you sleep at night with that kind of excitement?

I'm counting the days with you dear Yoli ... :)
I know exactly how you feel my friend. Wish we could sit together over a glass of wine and just look at our daughters photos.
That Shakespeare quote plus the content of your post are very poignant. Many thanks. May your daughter be well and healthy now.
