Maybe there is a reason that I was an only child.
Maybe learning to, and learning to enjoy,

When you think no one cares about what you have been called to do,
When you allow negative thoughts to enter your mind about all the what-ifs,
When you are still more than $20,000.00 short of the money it will take to bring him home,
When your own family members fear the child you love so much already...

I have begun to see the signs of life along his road, and I never want to walk anywhere else.
