I would like to introduce you to Alex. He is my little dude.
Alex is four, he has five siblings. Alex likes to be held and has a smile that will melt your heart. For fun alex enjoys playing with the 12-30 leftover beer bottles that his dad consumes per day. Alex is parented by his 8 year old sister. Alex craves love, he probably doesn’t get much at home.
This is the reality for the children that we come into contact with every day. They are neglected, not protected and left to fend for themselves.
Every day at around 3pm Alex and his brother Andy (mentioned in an earlier post) show up at our place, ready to play.
This month I get to be a dad to two boys who don’t really have one. I get to be a new idea of “papa” to each of them. I may be the only man who will ever show them a glimpse of the love of a father. This is truly a humbling experience. I get to be a father to the fatherless.
Andy
Their sister (mom)
He was loving the upside-down shades
