This boy

9.2.15

Late last night, an email hit my inbox. The words were few, just a phrase clearly generated by an online translator website. But, the pictures were amazing.

his frog

That one? That’s an origami frog. Not amazing, but super cute because a 12 year old boy folded it carefully and wanted to show it to his new mom and dad. And, right now, the only link he has to them is through me.

But, the next picture? AMAZING.

His artwork

I marveled at it and forwarded it along to his waiting mama who marveled at it even more than I did.

Then I set out to find someone to translate it.

This is my home.

Hi beloved Uncle and Auntie,
I can hardly control myself so I grabbed my pen. I have been dreaming of what my future house is like. The moment I finished this picture, I wanted to share this with you two. I cannot stop imagining how happy we will be when we live in this home together. My heart is filled with love and happiness now. I really want to share my happiness with you right now. Wish you happy and healthy, and hope everything goes well with you!

Told you so.

Amazing.

This boy is going to bless their socks off.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
