We have been part of Xavier's life since his birth 16 months ago. Bud and Linds keep us posted during our weekly phone calls and we Skype often. But there's nothing like a visit. We held him in our arms, enjoyed his belly laughs when we tickled him, and understood most of his attempts to communicate with us. We think he recognized us, and he certainly re-bonded with us. When they dropped us off at the train station on our way to the airport, he burst out crying inconsolably as we said goodbye to him. First time that's ever happened. His cry felt painful in our souls, but it was his way of reassuring us we all had a good time. We'll see you next month when you visit us Xavi, and we'll make sure very soon after that. JIR
