Our second night home, we sat down together at the table to eat dinner. My computer sat on the desk beside the table with various random pictures flashing across the screen. Pictures from the last four years since I bought the little computer.
For some reason, Juan David and I both happened to glance over at the computer at the same moment, only to see a picture of his beautiful little sister flash across the screen. It was a picture that Julian had sent to me over two years after we'd met her, one with her hair all grown out. One of the most beautiful pictures I'd ever seen of her.
We hadn't even been home with Juan David for 48 hours, and there she was. Still here. A reminder that she'll always be in our hearts and that it's okay for her to always be in his.
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.
