At the agency in Ohio, one of the big things that stuck with me was that every child who comes home will have a melt down around 6-7 weeks! They said, mark your calendar....it WILL happen! Mario has been a "dream" child. So I really didn't think it would happen...but it did! During Easter service today! I felt a tap on my arm and looked down to find a pair of huge black eyes filled with tears. Now so far Mario only had a few teary eyes, no sobs about anything! So when I leaned down and asked what was wrong, he said he missed his old family! FINALLY...real feelings of lose, real saddness, a real child!!!!! He curled up on my lap with his head on my shoulder and cried....and along with him...I cried!!!! Luckily, I was in THE most comfortable and closest place I feel with God....so I asked for His help and we talked and prayed and in that moment we grew even closer! We took communion together, I explained to Mario that he is totally normal to feel that way and I would be feeling the same way! He sat with Brian and they wept together. After awhile he came back to me. I asked him if he was feeling better. He said, "Yes, because I have pretty cool parents!" I said, "You're right there! And Mario whenever you want to cry again...I'll be right there to cry with you!" Mario said, "And Dad too?" "Yes Mario...and Dad too!
Thank you God for sending Your Son to die on the cross so all our sins will be forgiven!!!! Happy Easter!!! God is good!!!

Oh Jenny, what a sad time. But you handled it so well. Poor little guy. I know Mario loves you all and he will be fine. Just love him til it hurts.

You handled that beautifully! That sweet boy... I am so glad he felt comfortable to cuddle up and cry with you. He is precious and so are you. Hugs, Angel
I have alot to learn from my older and younger cousin. You both are opening my eyes. It seems funny that God has brought us back together through David's illness. Even though I don't talk to you often. I check your blogs and you and Amy have both opened my eyes. God's work is being done through both of you.
Blessings to you! Ellen
what a perfect little soul that little boy has! Jenny, you're an awesome mom! Hugs to you all! DebbieT
