Nathanael Josh James

Beloved grandson, Nathanael Josh James, on the eve of his very BIG day!



February 18th, Montreal. On this day (fittingly, Ontario's very first "family day"!) Nathanael's adoption was finalized in court! I was able to be there, holding Nathanael in my arms as the judgment was pronounced. When Cara explained to Michaela what had just happened - that now Nathanael belongs in our family "forever" - Michaela joyfully embraced and kissed Nathanael with the whole courtroom looking on. Spontaneous and heartbreakingly beautiful - a holy moment if ever there was one. This picture was taken moments later as we left the courtroom.



JOY!
