My 22 year old "prodigal" son!

Well technically he isn't a prodigal but I do feel like the real prodigal sons Father must have. I want to put on a big feast and jump up and down. My Brazilian son just called me!!!!

I can't even remember how long it has been since I talked to him, but atleast 2 yrs. I've been calling his house and his mom doesn't speak any english so we can't understand each other!!!! I had a friend from school call on Friday and was able to speak enough Spanish/Portugese that they understood each other........And he CALLED!!!!

He was here with me for 11 months in 2004. He was an unexpected gift from God, one I didn't ask for, but one He just knew I needed. I took a lot of our time for granted and was so wrapped up in the stress of life (being pregnant, Vince getting laid off, etc...) that I didn't appreciate all our time together.

He was a good boy, very sweet and respectful...so fun for my kids. Josh, Noah, and Caitlyn talked to him (Madi only remembers from pictures)......sigh I'm just so happy...

Anyway, he just called and said those three little words that mean so much. "I love you mom!" Awwwwww ~ he is mailing me pictures and I'll post them then.

And those pictures of Madi are hilarious!
