Your story is beautiful, you say you wish you could talk to them, it sounds like you do!
Joey is the little boy of my heart, I have two wonderful sons, but when raising skin kids, you always worry about their future; what impact everything you do will have on them. You worry about how they will turn out, after you no longer have any real control over their actions, it's harder to enjoy the moment-to-moment activities. With Joey, I don't have to worry about his "future" behavior, only the here and now. I would describe Joey as inquisitive, protective, shy, playful, snuggly, independent, and always hungry. Actually, I guess he's a lot like me.
