Just love

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to Mololoa with Jen Arnold, A total different experience, the day before we didnt know if it was such a good idea to go just her and me..but, then we thought we do feel somehow protected there, like all those kids are somehow connected to us. so...we did...I mean to be honest I laughed so hard since we got there, first the car experience, and by the way Jen is a good driver:), I honestly dont think I will be able to drive in such a narrow road to get up to some of the houses, although someday I will do it. WE spend time just talking to them, laughing, just holding their hands...
Im the kind of person that does know the meaning of a hug, I think that sometimes at the end of a day, or when we are just not feeling good, how important a hug is. how important it is that someone asks you how was your day today, but that they actually do care about it. And then I wonder why all these kids just gather around us, there were like five girls all at once that wanted to hold my hands, one of them was just holding my shirt,and I stopped and thought for a while, how many times do these kids get someone to hug them or to say are you feeling ok?, and the answer is none a day.
thats why for them just holding a piece of my shirt means...security, means love, means Im actually holding to someone that cares, that eventually will turn around and give me a hug.
they do know that in the car there are cookies, candies, bananas, and many other things sometimes they are given to them, but ...for them what is really important is just someone to really care for them.
Yesterday we wanted to invite Mauricio for lunch he's such a mature little boy, and Jen even told him chose a friend that you want to take and he decided to take Marvin, so he just told us I will go up to my house and just get some shoes, he later told us that he couldnt make it because he had to take care of his sisters and brothers, and the house...I was kind of sad at that, I saw the look on his face when he was going up to change, he was happy, and when he told us he couldnt go, he was devastated. that is the part that does break my heart. so...we did promise him to take him some other day...
The only thin Im aware from all this experience, is that the only things these kids are searhing for is love. so simple..but at the same time so complicated for all of us in this world.
I know all the people that have been there are now a part of these kids hearts. and I honestly can say that they're part of my life now.
