"Home is the nicest word there is." - Laura Ingalls Wilder

The first time I stepped foot into the baby home I was greeted by a silly, enthusiastic laugh. I laughed back and he laughed again; and so the game began. The Boss was the first face I saw. He has an infectious smile and gives really great hugs. His heart can be so tender at times; if one of his friends is crying he will find their comfort item (bottle, dummy, etc) and bring it to them. He gets so distressed and flustered if one of his friends is crying and will go to them and try to comfort them. The Boss loves music and dancing. He also really loves his Daddy! This guy's dad comes to church most weeks to visit him. His daddy loves him very much and wants to take good care of him. After weeks and weeks of waiting, the court has finally signed the papers to let him go home to his dad! Today was very bittersweet for me. Sweet because I know this guy will be so happy with his Dad and bitter because I will miss him so much! He has a hard road ahead of him adjusting to a new life. Pray for this little guy!

 I've now seen three babies come into the home and one leave. I'm thankful that I could see a happy reunion while I was here. I'm praying God holds and keeps my baby no matter where he is.
