Good Things

This card from Larry’s coworkers says it all.  Finally, finally, FINALLY, good things are coming to this incredible boy who is so deserving of all the wonderful things life has to offer him.

We leave tomorrow morning out of Atlanta and will arrive in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Thursday morning.  We return the following Thursday, March 29th.  His best buddy will have just left with his new family so the timing is perfect  I couldn’t bear the thought of him being left behind anymore by his friends.  Not anymore, sweet boy, not anymore.  Full steam ahead and with all the love in the world.
