Six Months Today

Andrew has been home six months today. I can't believe how fast the time has gone, and yet it seems as if he's been here longer.




Family is what's important to him. He loves his brothers and sisters.




He enjoys being homeschooled and loves to ride his skateboard!




He enjoys drawing, riding his bike, paying the wii and helping around the house.




He's had some therapy and knows that he needs to talk about how he feels, not cover it up. So he has been doing better with that. He asks to talk with me and then let's me know why he is angry, sad or upset. Afterwards he will let me know how much better he feels.




He's working through a lot of emotions and past hurts. It's a slow process, but he has started. Now the healing will begin.

Blessings,
Hansina

  5. It must be hard to understand/believe that feelings are valuable. I'm keeping him in my prayers.
