This one’s for Edgar. Turn on the music and listen as I take you through where I left off my relationship with Edgar in Guatemala.
Edgar and I had some great bonding moments over our last few days at the hospital. I took him outside and we just listened to music over and over. I found that he likes music with lots of drums and lots of guitar. Together we enjoyed Anberlin, The Almost, Emery, Underoath, and August Burns Red. We held hands and just enjoyed the sunshine and breeze. As our time was coming to a close on our last day at the hospital I had him sitting on my lap and he was smiling his glorious smile. We had “Soul’s on Ten” playing in the background and we just cuddled. He shoved his hands in my hair to pull on it like normal. As he pulled my hair he pulled my face closer to his and planted lots of kisses on my cheek. This went on for at least five minutes. It was so precious. I teared up a little bit.
As I think back to the first time I set eyes on Edgar to where our relationship ended, with me not wanting to leave him in his crib as we walked away, it makes my heart full of joy and life. I don’t know when I will see him again, but I cherish the time I got to spend with him.
