Going to miss...

These moments... The moments when I would catch all three of them like this. Playing, laughing, loving one another. These moments have been becoming more and more frequent. We find ourselves getting very teary at the thought of next week. Next week this little man could be gone.
And my heart that was so fearful of his arrival, is weeping at his departure. We love you little LJ. Thank you for touching our lives and our hearts with your presence.

It is amazing to me...the power of LOVE. The power of Adoption. The power of Foster Care. Heavenly Father designed the heart so perfectly. Something that is so easily broken, is so easily repaired by another's love, so easily grown and sewn back together to only burst to overflowing with more LOVE.

Love is a pretty cool thing.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts, they were very touching. I'm so glad that this sweet little boy was able to spend time with you and your family, I'm sure he'll be forever affected by it, even if he's too young to remember.

    My life was blessed to meet him. He is such a sweet little boy. His laugh is so contagious. His life was blessed to be in your home. To feel the Spirit again to feel the love of His Savior again. To be close to what he left not too long ago again. Your home provided all of that for him. It will stay with him somewhere in his heart. As hard as it seemed at the time the timing was perfect for him to come to help heal your heart just as you helped to heal his. Luv you friend.
