Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us a fairytale.

Just Like That

He's gone.   Harlen moved this week.  OCS (Office of Children Services) found a relative of his and he moved.  We said goodbye on Tuesday and he flew back to his village on Thursday.  I knew it was coming, but when the time actually came, it went so fast.  I'm in a bit of a daze.  I'm grateful that we had Harlen live with us for the seven months that he did.  I also know that it was time for him to move on, and I'm okay with that.

I'm sure you made quite the impact on each other and both served a purpose in each other's lives. Bittersweet. He was such a cute boy. Hope the adjustment goes smoothly with the family.

It takes an amazing person to let a sweet boy into her life knowing she might have to say good-bye. Long distance ((HUGS))
