I found this haiku poem that our Lisa Rose wrote when she was in middle school. Yet another connection to our adoption journey. Our adopted daughter's given name is Hoang Thi Phuong. Hoang in Vietnamese means 'rose', and Phuong translates to the Phoenix bird that rose to live again. I was 5 months pregnant with Lisa Rose when I travelled with Loren to Asia on a business trip in November, 20 years ago. Sophia Rose is 5 months old this November, when once again we will be traveling to Asia to bring her home. We will be arriving back home on December 13th, just 2 days before the 3rd anniversary of Lisa's death on December 15th, 2005. We know Lisa Rose has been, and will continue to be with us every step of this journey. I love and miss her very much, and always will.
