Happy birthday to Bryant. Today one year ago our little one was born in a maternity clinic in Moscow City. Only hours later he become an orphan. The first year of his life he has faced some major challenges, emotionally and medically. It honestly is amazing he is doing so well. For that we are thankful. We know there will be more challenges ahead but can only hope in time that he reaches his full potential, whatever that may be.
Today especially, I think of his birth mother. Has she thought of him today? I hope so. I do not know her story and have vowed not to pass judgement or make assumptions that may be incorrect. For Bryant's sake I want to speak about her in a positive way. After all she gave him life. The greatest gift. I know that because of her decision, we are blessed to know him today.
Jeff & I just watched the videos of our time with him at the orphanage. Oh how we wish he could be here with us celebrating. The girls thought it would be nice if we made cupcakes. So tonight we made and decorated cupcakes and sang happy birthday to Bryant. Next year we will have this to look back on but hopefully he will be here eating cupcakes too. Happy Birthday sweet boy.
