We are so incredibly blessed to have Domca join our family this year. She did feel tremendous homesickness her first day or so, but we have settled into a wonderful routine and continue to become closer with each day. Highlight of my week? When she said that she loves sitting and really talking about her feelings and family with me, and she said that Becky "feels" like her sister. When Lizzie went back to college, they hugged so fiercely and it was amazing to see how much she missed her and then asked how soon Lizzie could come back.
Last night, Domca and Becky were googling food items on the internet for Domca to try. We daily get to enjoy watching her try something new and hearing how excited she is. Last night was chicken tortilla soup...she couldn't believe we crunched tortilla chips on top, and apparently my homemade spaghetti sauce is good because the other day she had thirds!!!
It is hard to believe she hasn't always been a part of our household, and equally hard to imagine when she won't be!
Thank you for the incredible opportunity to open our hearts to our Domca!!!
