As soon as we arrived in the driveway and saw what awaited us I took Punya to the front door and pointed to each person in the picture, saying their name. She repeated me and glowed. As we sat for a picture on the front step she was jumpy; excited/nervous jumpy. Her little body twitched. I do think she was figuring it all out; this was HER home.
As we went through the house we would show her item after item that was meant for her; prepared, in advance, FOR HER. Her shoe basket, her coat/bag hook, her sock drawer, her pajama hook, her hooded bath towel, her toiletry bag, her bed...

her smile was different, her smile knew she belonged.
