I am so incredibly happy for Miss 12. Her family have passed a point. She has been given her things. She has now, at home with her - all of her clothes, her favourite blanket and her teddy from when she was a baby.
She has been asking for these things since day one, 8 months and 3 days ago. She finally has them.
She held up every piece of clothing with pride, popped her blanket in the wash and went to bed really 'satisfied' with life. There was a happiness in her I haven't seen before, and I can't really describe it.
For so long now, everything in her life has been "new" a new home, a new family, new clothes, new 'toys'. But now she has a bit of her history with her too.
What is even more important, to me anyway, not to her - is that her family have let go - just a little bit. Some of the battle must be over if they are willing to part with her things.
