My oldest Philip's first letter!!

On to my second post out of many that I need to make. Monday my mom called saying I got two things in the mail. Wednesday as I was ridding with her to the doctor the second thing I got in the mail was a manila envelope. I opened it to find all kinds of things to make me smile from my two Ugandan orphan boys. I will share the oldest boy his things he sent here.


First thing I saw was the photo that I saw when I first sponsored him. My own copy!!

When I flipped it over I noticed another photo of him slightly different, but still great with a Bible verse attached.

Then I looked at the next thing and it was a drawing he made for me. I think it is just absolutely beautiful!

I then said well the other had a back too so I would check the back here to. Sure enough before it was laminated dirt and all someone related to LMU wrote info they had on him. His birthday is a question. He is put down as two different years. Their putting him as 19 on one and 16 on another. Everyone has come to the agreement he seems more 16 through not only his looks, but also his attitude and the way he acts. :) Here's what was put on the back. Love so much of it. Had to giggle at what he someday hopes to do.

Now for the part that gave me the biggest smiles and helped more than anything to brighten my mood no matter how bad I felt at that moment. A white envelope stared at me with his name on it. It contained his letter to me. The smile faded a lot once I read it. It was a page long sad and left me wishing I was allowed to help how he wants most. The letter in all was so sweet.

The letter says mistakes and all:

 

He put in sqiggles on the left hand side feel free as you read this letter.

This sweet boy has definitely pulled at my heartstrings. He calls himself my son and calls my family his family, but I wont have the privilege to get him here to the states orfor him to legally call me mom due to restrictions. I will say before I even received this letter I wrote to him in a letter that I tell him so much of my life because my family see him as our family no matter how far away he is. I hoped it would at least help him to heal even if it is just a little.
