On Sunday I met the oldest, saddest seven year old. We first met at the hospitalito where he was
sitting in the corner on the floor moving a toy car back and forth with a blank
look on his face. Turns out his two
younger brothers and him were abandoned a year ago and unfortunately he has not
been able to see his brothers in almost a year…the staff is concerned about him
as he has been increasingly stressed by this situation. The decision was made that he would be part
of the siblings program and on Monday he was reunited with his two younger
brothers…it was an amazing sight to see this little boy totally light up and
start jumping around…. This sad, old little boy turned immediately into the
proudest big brother I have ever met. My
eyes began tearing up and had to choke back the tears for two very different
reasons, the first being tears of joy seeing these young children being reunited and second because
for these three little boys life just has not been fair to them.
