So...we are seeing glimpses of the true Emily. After breakfast today, we saw SMILES & even a few squeals!! I think when she forgets about her grief for a bit, we see the real sweet girl ready to bloom. It breaks my heart just how hard this has been for her.
Tomorrow we visit the orphanage & I had to ask for a special request that she NOT see her foster Mom. I know the foster mom will be disappointed, but we have to do what is best for Emily. Mike & I will get to meet her and give her a gift & ask her LOTS of questions about Em. I can’t wait. Jana will watch the kids for us in a separate area.
It’s been a tough few days...but seeing the glimpses of her true self come out is very encouraging!! One day at a time!
Today we went to Qingxiu Mountain, it was so pretty! We really enjoyed walking through the orchid garden. It was breathtaking!! I thought of my Norman Grandparents-they would have loved it!! They had such a love for all flowers. I wish they could have met my kids. October 16th is their wedding anniversary. That is the same day that Mike and I will take an oath at the US consulate, swearing to always love & protect Emily. ❤️❤️ I think that is pretty special.
Please please keep 🙏🏻 for Emily’s peace & all of us really. This is so hard on her. So hard to watch.
Love from the Rettews!
