Dear Andrew,
Today was the day that I have been waiting 4 years for. As I saw you coming down the stairs my eyes began to fill with tears. There you were, all grown up and right before my eyes. There was one other little boy with you meeting his family as well. You cried at first. Very confused at what was going on. I swooped you up into my arms and just held you for a very long time. I stroked your cheek and rubbed your hair, wiped your tears and kissed your sweet little face. You seem to be a very serious little boy right now. You haven't said a word, but you have given us smiles and laughter and for that I am grateful for. You let Mommy, Daddy and Sissy hold you and you took my hand in yours when we were in the van. You were very brave at our appointments and finally smiled and laughed when I went to tickle you. At lunch time you amazed everyone at the table with your chopstick skills. You picked that piece of broccoli right up off your plate and popped it into your mouth. You then ate noodles and rice with no problem at all, never spilling a drop. And when you were done, you gently placed your chopsticks across your bowl to let me know you were finished. We were speechless. As the day went on more smiles came. You seem to have such a sweet and tender spirit. At bath time you liked playing with the squirt toys and gave me no grief about getting into or out of the tub. You are tall but thin. The 2T jeans fall off you. And you pulled at your short sleeve polo because I think you were use to long sleeve shirts. The tennis shoes that I brought for you seemed to be a big hit. You kept looking down at them as we walked to dinner. All in all, I think today as a wonderful day and the best is yet to come sweet boy. You are snuggled in bed and I hope that you will get some rest tonight....for your new journey has just begun. Our last dream come true.... .. We love you Andrew.....welcome to your Forever Family.
Love,
Mommy |
