Dear Bennett,
Lailah and I got to see you today ! She misses you even though she hardly knows you. It's like she knows in her heart that you're a part of us. She was looking at pictures of you a week or so ago and she said, "Mommy, I wish we could live with Bennett. He's so cute and I like him." - All while whimpering about how much she loves and misses you. It broke my heart. She knows that all I wanted was the best for both of you and when you grow up I hope in my heart everyday that you will too. When we reunite I will be here with open arms - for any day or any time that you need me. I've been reading about how some adoptees feel fear upon reuniting. I mean, I'm sure it's strange - someone you hardly know loving you so entirely much. You're a huge piece to my heart and I can't imagine not loving you as much as I do. I will not pressure you but I do want you to know I will always be here for you.
So, back to the video. :p You were pricelessly adorable. Seeing your face brightens my whole week. Your voice is so comforting for me to hear, knowing you are safe, you're okay, and that you're healthy and learning ! It means the world to me to find relief by seeing you, hearing you, and watching you play. At first you sat with your parents and then you got down and you got a little worked up over not being able to find your cars for your play mat. It was too cute lol. But you quickly got over it. You found a ball and you kicked it a couple times, then ran around looking for something else to do. Then you got your Ipad and put Chuggington on - when your mom asked your what you were watching you said, "Chugg Chugg". <3 I did get a couple "Hi"'s with some waves and a "Bye" before ending the call. But you were pretty content watching your show and just wanted to say what you were asked to and continue watching lol. You don't really know who Lai and I are yet and that's okay, but we know you - we will never forget you.
Until next time my little puzzle piece.
<3 Mommy.
