A quick update. We just arrived back at the guest house after 2 days and 1 night in the southern region that JP first entered the orphanage and close to his birth city. I was able to meet his Great Aunt that cared for him before he was relinquished. I wasn't even sure that she would come but she did and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We saw each other and hugged and we cried and she kissed me over and over. There was no akwardness and we just cried and laughed together and really understood each other. She is a Christian and has prayed for him his whole life. You could sense her relief in meeting me and seeing his pictures and knowing he is taken care of. I feel like I have a lot of answers for him one day and a lot of love to share with him from her. IT was a priveledge and honor to meet her and hear the beginning of his story. There is so much to tell and plenty I'll never share with the world(sorry blog world), only him. Continue to pray as we pick JP up tomorrow afternoon for good!!!! Tia |
