The sadness in her eyes haunts me.
Some days it's easy to focus only on the smiley pictures,
But other days these are the ones that jump out at me.
One sad, lonely, tiny, and afraid little 10 year old.
And then there is this little guy,
Oh sweet sweet boy!
As the week went on there were more and more smiley pictures,
But still you wanted no part of my touch.
In the 16 hours spent together,
Getting to hold you for 15 minutes is what I have to hold on to.
Soon though,
Soon we will be coming back and your whole world will be turned upside down,
We will teach you what it means to be loved,
and that there is nothing scary about it.
Praying this wait away.
Tomorrow wouldn't be soon enough
to have you both back in my arms.
