Letter Writing from Seoul

Letter writing from Seoul...
How does one write a letter to the foster mother that has loved their child for months and then will hand the infant from their arms into ours today? Not the grammatical syntax or the proper sentence structure...not the appropriate heading or title, or wether it is sealed in a beautiful letterpress envelope.

...But how to you put into words tears of joy, of weeks of wiping tears and feeding bottles...of teaching how to eat from a spoon or playing clapping hand games to elicit gurgling laughter...

...how do you tell Mrs. Lee thank you, and reassure her that you will care and treasure this baby through boyhood...skinned knees and playground dust...teaching about our heavenly Father...learning the lessons of a gentleman...

...that you will give him not a house to live in, but a home...
not just a girl and boy, but a brother and sister...
not just caretakers, but a mother and a father...a family...a haven...a place where he will love and be loved...

And that all along every bit of work that she has done has been essential, important, necessary...

and that forever...we, and he, will be grateful.

Thank you Mrs. Lee, Thank you.
