Last Visit - part 4

As you can imagine, I started to get a little emotional towards the end of our visit. Knowing that I was going to have to walk away from this precious boy that I am head over heels in love with, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. The end of this trip is bittersweet. On one hand, I get to go home and be with my children again, but I am leaving one of my children behind. Very emotional!

So, Wilson was sleepy which meant some great cuddle time for us. And we were eating it up! Mike had him when he started laying his head down and sucking his thumb. We figured this was the perfect time to give Wilson the stuffed animal we brought for him. This little dog will stay in his crib for the next couple of months, absorbing the smells of the orphanage so that when we walk out for the last time, he will have something familiar with him. Then, being the super sweet and thoughtful husband that he is, Mike offered to let me hold Wilson so I could soak up some love too.

I miss him so much already. I spend lots of time looking through our photos and videos - over and over and over. I pray the next couple of months fly by. I want that beautiful boy at home, with the rest of my children, where he belongs.
