Lost and Found

A few days ago I put a plea out on Facebook for the return of Momo; Diezel's trusted stuffed monkey. He Lost him over 4 days ago. It's one thing for any child to lose a precious "lovey" (the name we call their special things), but for your adopted child, it really is unimaginable. Diezel's Momo was his first toy. His first possesion. His first friend and yes his first attachment. Before he started seeking me out for comfort, he would often turn to Momo. Momo stayed with him in the hospital. Momo stayed with him through all the tests that poked his little non-understanding body. Momo stayed by his side. Momo was my sign that Diezel could love. That Diezel did desire affection. Momo became much more than a stuffed monkey-To me and Diezel that little furry lovey became hope.

Here's the facebook "ad" we published with help from the rest of the family-

Lost: One best friend. Goes by the name of "MOMO". Description:a very worn out, but loved stuffed monkey that was carried everywhere by a sweet little boy from Africa who found his home here in America with us. MOMO has been a constant companion and has even selflessly stayed many nights in a hospital bed comforting the sweet little boy from Africa. If found please contact Diezel-ASAP.

I know this may sound extrememly corny, but I believe because of the people that prayed over such a "silly" request that Momo was found.
He was found safe and sound by our hero-Diezel's daddy!

It was such a sweet reunion.
I am happy to report that Diezel did hug me after Momo was found. Lesson: Never underestimate the power of prayer and the joy that a little monkey can bring.
