It may just be a band-aid

It may have just been a band-aid,

and it kept 

dirty out of his little wound,

and he may or may not

have admired it ALL day long!

But, this little band-aid

did more then we ever dreamed,

it helped my son heal.

This is the first band-aid that Elijah 

has allowed on an owie 

since he came home 8 months ago.

(possible his first band-aid ever)

and let me tell you -

our little dare devil 

has needed many band-aids in the last 8 months.

But, this owie was the one.

The one where he let me help him.

The one that made him proud to wear.

The one that began him adding band-aids to 

his body day after day.

And the band-aid that started him talking about

many of his other hurts.

You see my son,

has lots of visual scars from his past,

but he has even more emotional scars -

and we are sooooo happy that he is 

beginning to let down his guard,

and trust us with what hurts him!

Thank you Jesus!
