Processing

Sawyer is processing alot.....

what is about to happen in his life.

He GETS that his family is about to leave for AFRICA....

to get his two brothers (without him). 

He is a little unsure when he sees me:   "Grandma".

He is always wondering.....

"is it now"? 

Is mommy leaving me now.......

Oh my.

....................................

He will be fine with the grandmas ~

but do be praying for this little guy, won't you?

AND.....it goes without saying,
his mommy's heart is about to BURST thinking of leaving him ~
if you'd pray for Courtney TOO!
