We are loving being a family of 3. I'll fill you in more on that later. Right now we are really struggling with night time. Liam is scared at night and why wouldn't he be considering where he has come from. Mark Nepo puts it best:
"Seldom seen, growing along the ocean floor, the white-plumed anemone is a watery blossom. It is white lace opening under tons of black, opening as if bathed in the sun, while so far from the sun. This is the trick to staying well, isn't it: to feel the sun even in the dark. To not lose the truth of things when they go out of view. To grow just the same. To know there is still water, even when we are thirsty. To know there is still love, even when we are lonely. To know there is still peace, even when we are suffering. None of this invalidates our pain, but only strengthens our way back into the light."
Please say a prayer for Liam tonight when you go to bed. And for all the other orphans out there. Bedtime requires you to trust your surroundings and Liam is still learning to trust. God love him!!
