Robert is not my first sponsored child, he's my third. But of my current batch of kidlets, he's the one I've sponsored the longest. Technically I'm not his sponsor. That's my "cousin" Mary. I'm just his correspondent sponsor. I've always been just his Correspondent sponsor, but when his other financial sponsor decided for whatever reason to not sponsor him any longer, I posted on facebook how I wished I could afford to take him on because he was just too precious to say goodbye to. That's when my darling "cousin" Mary offered to take him up for me so I could continue my relationship with this precious little man. He's absolutely the sweetest. I love him to bits and hope to be able to afford a trip next year to meet him.
Every letter he writes me he tells me of his love for me and it just melts my heart. He tells me about his holidays and how well he is doing in school, and he draws the sweetest pictures. Honestly, I didn't know it was possible to love a child you have never met so dang much. He's positively perfect.
Robert loves baseball, and his favourite subject in school is Natural Science!
I don't write Robert near as much as I should and I literally have so much guilt about that. But I'm working on writing more this year because (a.) my penmanship sucks! and (b.) I have to tell these kids that God and I love them more often than I have previously. So here's hoping I keep up with my goal of one letter a month plus an extra letter in response to theirs.. Wish me luck!
Now, without further adieu... Here's Robert!
How handsome is he!? LOVE that little smile he's got there.In all my time sponsoring him, that's the first smile I've seen grace his sweet face in pictures. A welcome change from his sad eyes and (albeit adorable) pouty lips in previous pictures!!
Well, that is definitely all for tonight folks! I'm off to bed (there's the little old lady in me...) Have a lovely day/night/whatever it is where you are!
