P counted at least 30 times today that Christian said those words at the playground.
Our son was literally darting around like a fly, informing the participants at the playground of his presence. We could not help but marvel at his drive to connect with his peers.. who were largely ignoring him and his shouting.
Hang in there child! Your mei mei is on the way. Finally, there will be a "peer" under the same roof who we hope will be a soulmate for you.
Oftentimes, we adults are too caught up in the task train and the drudgeries of daily living to pay close attention to the higher order needs of our children. Like us, they have voids in their hearts, minds and souls to fill. It hurt to see Christian so desperately lonely even as he was surrounded by children at the playground. It served as a timely reminder that we alone are not enough for him.
