reflecting

dear baby a,
we received a surprise update on you the other day and a picture. you look so beautiful, healthy and peaceful. i instantly broke down into tears when i saw that picture of your sweet smile in your sleep. i remembered the short time you lived with us. i felt your sweet spirit as if you were in my arms again. we are so thankful that you are back with your family and pray that you don’t ever have know about us; that you never have to hear the words foster family again. we hope you are protected from the hurt, neglect and pain that you endured during the first few months of your life. we are rooting for you and pray that all your dreams come true. we are thankful for the impact you made on our family. you showed us just how precious life is and that no matter the circumstances, we all have the capacity to love a little deeper. thank you baby a.
we love you.
