I have been missing Melvin over the past couple of days, more than usual...I don't know why but he has been on my mind and my heart hurts.
It is hard for me to remain clear when it comes to Melvin because I truly do not know what is best for him. Part of me wants to bring him here..Keep him close,but the other part of me say "he has a family that loves him and in the midst of everything is a happy boy!
I thought this summer would be easier to leave him behind, I thought for him it would be easier to see me go..But I was wrong on both counts. My heart broke and so did his. The Saturday before we left I spent the day with Melvin and he talked a lot about coming to the states with me, the first time he was ever persistant about it. This was obviously something he had been thinking about..He had several options for me to make the trip...By car...By river. It was funny but really it scares me that one day he may try it on his own.
Life becomes complicated when you expose yourself to a life that hurts..Life becomes complicated when you choose to love and trust, as Melvin did. It is hard for both of us to remain clear. But God says to pray for wisdom...
"Lord, give me your wisdom and guide me as I journey along with this little soul"

Wow, that's so true. Sooooo true in my own experience.
Your life touching Melvin's and his life touching yours, and your writing about it touches me. Though it may make life a little more complicated, I am nonetheless stirred to get outside myself and take a risk to love in and through Christ.
Peace to you sister Lori
I know, he loves you as a mother. And that is why for him is so hard. And for you also 'cause you have adopted him as a son. God bless your heart. And we will have you both in our prayers.
He is so cute.
Hola Lori...! te quiero mucho..
SO sweet.
Dios les bendiga.
