I was just skimming through the posts we've made this week, and realize that we have really chosen the very best of the best photos to share. These are the moments we cherish, but they do not at all capture the full reality of this little boy. In between those flashes of light are many, many distant, disconnected moments. This is how he's lived for most of his life, and it will take plenty of time and lots of love to really open this boy up. But there is a dear little boy inside, and what we've given you in photos are the momentary flashes when he lets us in for a moment. But we were reminded today as we re-read translations of the national news articles from when the situation at his orphanage was revealed a little over a year ago and the positive changes started happening, and were very sobered by the very very difficult situation this boy was in for most of his life. That, too, will take time (and lots of love!) to heal.
