One of our Village of Eden students
has started coming to visit us each day.
He is all smiles and gives everyone a hug. A few days ago, he came and looked at Brenda
and said, “No home.”
Brenda had Beatrace come to
translate.
“He wants to live here.”
I must admit, Brenda and I
laughed. But then we stopped laughing
when we saw that he was heartbroken. [tug to the heart]
I told Beatrace to ask him why he wants to live with us.
“Because it is a good place.” [tug
to the heart]
Well, you got me!
He left, heart broken, but came
back the next day as if nothing had happened.
He came bright and early, ready for breakfast.
He just makes himself at home, like
he belongs here. He like to hang out
with me while I am working. Needless to
say, I don’t get as much done with him around.
I told him I would take his
picture. He picked up the book I was
reading to pose! [tug to the heart]
I gave him some markers and a coloring
book, he wrote my name! [two tugs]
Smart kid. I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t’ wind up
being a resident.
