We played jump rope and danced to Shakira and drew pictures and played hopscotch. Maria, Julie and Alicia are my main girls/muchachas. We play and laugh and smile; they don’t want us to give pity or feel sorry for them. They only want to be thrown in the air and hugged and hugged because God only knows when that will happen again. But their spirits are strong and they can overcome this place and this situation and this country and this world because with God we all know there is no such thing as an orphan. I truly believe hearts can speak to each other. I can’t even talk with most of these kids but some of them will sit very close to me and put their arm on my leg and our hearts flutter comforting messages back and forth. This just happened as I was writing. The thirteen-year old girl ended our “heart to heart” by whispering, “muy bonita,” and walked away. The whisper of this thirteen-year old girl could warm the whole world. -Ellen Q. Click here to read more of Your Stories. |
