Today I broke the Project 365 "rules" by using a picture I took way back on Day 22. It seemed appropriate as it was a very bittersweet day. The young man pictured here was abruptly withdrawn from school by his mother, uprooted and is now, in all likelihood, on his way across the country to Atlanta. His start in life has already been filled with turmoil and our school was probably one of the safest, most accepting environments he's ever known. My heart aches for him right now and I will keep him in my thoughts in the days to come.
I am really sorry to hear that. Stability for a young who already has not had much (so it appears) is so important. :(
ReplyDeleteI too just ache for him - I pray that when he arrives at his new "home" he will find adults to truly care for him.
