the story of the family that always was...

is not my story to tell.  What I will tell you is that it is the story of Sara and Trevor and their family that always was, but just wasn't always like this.  Over the past few years of witnessing these two trying to have a family I said to Sara that she will have the family that she was meant to have exactly when she was meant to have it.  I didn't know that all she had to do was ask.  Their son was waiting already.  Nico is now tucked neatly, perfectly, naturally in his little place in their family and just as naturally into all of our hearts. 

Look at her face.  Have you ever seen a mother that full of sheer joy?  Maybe you have.  Maybe you have felt that too.  But it looks perfect, right?  Just 10 days after their baby is born, after all they went through, the years of trials and different paths that lead up to this, the paperwork that took on a life of it's own, being captive in a city far away from home without answers (but with the weight of Nico keeping her anchored and willing them to push forward) she arrives home with this look of elation.  I can't picture it any other way.
And she says now it all makes sense.

Am I ever going to stop getting weepy over this? Sheesh. It's just so perfectly amazing. So fun to witness it all.

Sara,
I have only met you and Trevor once, but through these posts of Mels, I have learned a lot about you! Congratulations on your new little man! Nico is gorgeous and he is obviously the light in your life. Treasure every moment as they grow at lightning speed! You are beautiful!

I love you, Melanie. You have no idea how much peace it brings me knowing he will always have you in his life. He will always know that Melanikis is his mama's very best friend.
