Today was the first day that Sergiy came out and said he doesn't want to go back to Ukraine. Deborah and I were sitting in the living room with him after supper watching a movie and he just said it. I told him that we didn't have a choice, we agreed to have him visit in our home and we also agreed that on Jan 15th we would take him to the airport to go back. I think the next two days is going to be hard for him. Also, as he was on the couch tonight he just popped out while we were watching a movie, "I love you poppy" and "I love you mommy". He hasn't been too free to say that type of thing, it is the first time he has actually said that to us.
We played basketball this afternoon and on the way home I could tell he was in deep thought. I wondered if he was thinking we don't have much time left. He has been telling me how many days are left this week. Tomorrow we are going to celebrate his birthday with a meal and a small party afterwards. So he is looking forward to that.
Tonight as I went to his room to say good night I told him on the translator "we will pray that we can see each other again". Great words that Paula (our coordinator) suggested to use when the subject comes up. He said he understood what I had written and told him that is what we will pray and encouraged him to pray in the same way.
