Delight

I typically refrain from analyzing our adoption---where we are, if we've bonded, etc.

Usually it seems that complete strangers and extended family members will do that for us, without putting much extensive thought or knowledge into the matter. "Oh, he seems to be attaching so well!" they gush.

People love to give their opinions about anything, even if they have no knowledge of the subject.

But two nights ago, there was a flicker of a moment where I saw in Million's face that he was taking genuine joy and delight in my company.
And it was a beautiful moment.
