Settled

I don't know how else to say it. I lack the proper terminology to convey what I mean exactly, so I hope you understand when I say that Brayden is settled.

I thought he was before.

Actually, I thought when we got home and he did not cry that he was settled, but in hindsight, he was grieving then.

I truly believe that the steps in detaching from his foster family and attaching to (or is it with?) us is complete. Now, I am not naive enough to think that this solves anything, but it is such a relief to feel like those threads, thin and fragile as spider's silk, are now solid and permanent.

Funny how such a little guy can occupy such a big space in our lives...
