When we arrived in Nashville, we had more trouble - the flaps wouldn't work on the airplane. We circled the airport for about 20 minutes trying to burn fuel so that we could land safely. Of course, there's nothing like looking out the window and seeing emergency crews around the plane. Once again, God kept us safe and gave us peace that everything was going to be okay.
When we walked through the terminal, Ashton was holding Leigh's hand and waiting for us. He wouldn't come near us because he didn't think it was really us. Leigh had to give him a little push and say, "There's Mommy and Daddy!" He did come to us, however behaved very shyly. We kissed him all over. After the kisses, he looked into my eyes and dropped a bombshell, "Where's my sissy?" You can only imagine how awful Jason and I felt at that moment. My parents had tried to explain to Ashton that we were going to have to return to Ukraine because sissy wasn't ready to come to "Merica" yet, however he still doesn't fully understand.
My sister-in-law, Denise, also has a 3 year old, Hannah, who is asking questions about her new cousin. Denise compared the situation with going to the store to buy bananas and the store being out. They have to make a trip another day to buy bananas. Hannah understood but Ashton didn't appreciate the analogy very much.
