One Year Ago Today…

March 9, 2008 at 9:06 pm | In M'ijo |

I looked directly into these eyes for the first time.

you called?

Looking at me?

And touched these hands for the first time.

Mama Boy Hands

Pili brought cakemix, eggs, and oil to Guatemala so that she could bake me a cake. But this was - and is - still the best birthday present I’ve ever gotten.

One Year Later

Exactly one year later.

  24. Congratulations, you lucky woman. It amazes me that we can be so lucky after such a run of awful events, but here we are. I know you don’t take a moment of it for granted. What an adorable boy. I wish I could get ours to wear hats!
