Even from a far...

He comes through. We got three letters from Joe today, and they came at just the right time! Porter was really missing Joe and then...poof! There they were in the mailbox! We saved one letter to open tomorrow as per Porter's request.  The best part was that there was a DVD in there with a video of Joe reading two books to Porter.  I made a big deal out of it and Porter came and sat on my lap to watch.  I have to admit that I shed a few tears.  It is totally different seeing him on Skype where the connection isn't that great.  I actually got to see him move and see his facial expressions.  He has lost some weight and he shaved off his hair island so that was definitely different for me.  But, all of those feelings came rushing back, and it made me miss him that much more.  But, Porter needed it.  It was exactly what he needed.  He fell right to sleep with a look of contentment on his face.  Thank you Joe for always knowing what we need. We love you!
