What an awkward situation. You did great! I bet I could pick him out of a whole room full now! That precious little face is forever etched in my heart. We love him so much! I'm really enjoying your journal. Thanks Oh honey, I don’t think I could ever have picked him out based on the picture you had! What an awkward situation. You did great!

I am longing for the moment when we can hold Josiah as well. I love reading your blogs, I am praying that God will continue to use your talent as a writer. Some day I will be reading a book by Mary Beth Stanford Picker! I wish we could see a video of that moment when you finally held him! I am longing for the moment when we can hold Josiah as well.

Your writing make make it so real. I can hardly wait until I am able to make the trip down there to see him. I am working on his quilt and hope I can finish it and get it quilted, so we can bring it to him. Give him a kiss for me. Love, Mema I ditto what Papa said. Your writing make make it so real.

Tears formed im my eyes and rolled down my cheeks as you searched the room for your baby, and as you looked down on him for the first time. And a lump came into my throat when you picked him up and held him in your arms. At that moment I realized for the first time that this little boy was my own great grandson. Now, I'm excited and anxious to hold him in my own arms and kiss his little face. Papa I’m glad you wrote in detail about this particular event.
