Leaving - 8/15/11

Today I'm sad to be leaving you, Baby Rae, and your parents to return home. However, I am overjoyed at having spent 5 weeks with you!! During that time I've seen you learn so many new things, and I've grown quite attached to you -- thus tears of joy and sadness mixed together.

Let me tell you something Willow -- you have amazing parents who are doing everything in their power to see that you get the therapy and instruction you need to fulfill your own personal potential. They work diligently at keeping you focused, giving you good nutrition, and providing a safe, happy environment for you to grow up in.

Seven days ago your little sister, Raewyn Beth, was born. Now that she's home, her cries are upsetting to you. Mommy and Daddy are very consoling holding you and telling you over and over "it's okay Willow."

Through all the changes you've endured the past week, you've regressed a bit -- I don't blame you for pulling back -- it's a lot to handle. You know what? I know in my heart you'll bounce back and come out of the safe space you've temporarily created for yourself.

Grammie is praying for you Sweetie. I love you so much, and I can't wait to see you on Skype very soon.
