Charlie
A week ago, today, people gathered to welcome you home. It was late, after 10 pm, but family and friends (aka your fan club) met us so they could see the amazing boy we having been talking about, forever.
They waited as they saw others turn the corner and go down the ramp. They heard other passengers tell them, "They are coming" so they could see this.
They cheered when they saw you. They cheered when you were introduced to them. You are so loved Charlie.
380 days since you were first placed in an orphanage, you are home. You are loved. You have family who loves you and is so excited to get to know you.
A cousin who is only slightly taller than you and so wants to teach you to "give elbows."
A grandma, cousin, and uncle who will take you for pizza, teach you flips, and take you fishing.
A Grammie who makes you quilts.
A Papa who will teach you about trains, planes, and cars.
Parents who will love and support you.
So many people who care about you. Some were there, some were not, some were able to avoid pictures. Charlie you have many people wanting to help you grow up to be the best man you can be.
We love you Charlie!
