Happy Birthday To Toby!

Toby, born October 22, 2009

Well, today is a bitter sweet day. Sweet Toby is 2 years old, October 22, today is the day he was born, and maybe given up to the orphanage. Toby is so cute, sweet, loving, tiny, young, and in our hearts (forever). The bitter part is that he has to spend his birthday in an orphanage. It just breaks my heart to know that he most likely wont get any hugs or kisses on his special day, wont get cuddled and hear the words of a mommy saying, "Happy birthday! I love you little one", wont get a celebration, wont get any appreciation from anyone, and won't know what it feels like to be loved today. But, hopefully this will be the last birthday he has to spend as an orphan. And when he gets home, we will have a BIG celebration! And let him know, we love him :) The sweet news is that I'm happy for him to be growing and we can now say, Toby has been on this earth for 2 years :) I also know that he's probably spending most of his very special day, in a crib or a stroller. Please keep baby Toby in your prayers, and just be thinking of him and all of the other beautiful children with him in his region.
