Forever Day VI
i don't know anything about this picture, but alex still has that look every now and again... This Forever Day is a tough one. When we were going through the adoption process and found out we would not get to meet Alex until he was over 18 months old, we thought in terms of years. 'Less than 2 years is not that much time' we would tell each other. We didn't know. We were (I was) desperate for a child and we just didn't understand how time functioned with a child. We didn't care. Now we have a baby who we have had since his birth. That baby is still 4 months shy of when we brought Alex home. Now we know how much we missed. We missed so much. I cannot imagine giving my baby away at this age to strangers, who would take him to the other side of the world. I know everything about him...what he likes, what he doesn't like, how to make him feel safe, how to make him laugh and I know that he loves me and he knows that I love him. I'm reminded of...
