“He Won’t”: An adoption story journal (Part 6)

PART 6: What about his real mother?

Parts of Levi’s story are for him to share one day. That includes his mom and all that surrounds her throughout this case. What he will know about her from me is that she LOVES him. 

The day I met her my heart was absolutely shattered for her. She loved him. For a variety of reasons she was unable to care for him, but he will always know she loved him from the very start and still loves him. 

It’s hard to think about her not knowing or seeing how amazing Levi is. She never heard his laugh, she never comforted his crying, she never heard his voice, she never saw the way he likes to build things, or how smart he is, or how quickly he figures things out. Maybe the saddest of all is she’s never been given a big hug or slobbery kiss by him. She’s never heard him say, “I lub you.” She’s loved him from the start, but I am so sad for all the things she will never know about him.
