I've tried so hard to supress a cry while visiting these wonderful families that I have a knot in my throat.... Jarett has a permanent crick in his neck from looking up to keep the tears from running down his face.......
Yesterday, I looked at all these people like stranded starfish on the beach... I felt overwhelmed and hopeless... and then I began to meet the people that Jake has served and who love him and are stronger and trying each day to enjoy a better quality of life..... and I realized that even though we can only throw one starfish back into the sea at a time and many may die on the shore.... we are and can make a difference to that one!

You really have to shift gears mentally don't you. It must be a very love filled experience when you make the shift. Keep throwing the stars back one at a time. The "sea" is grateful. Have fun at the orphanage and I would love to see a picture of you jumping rope.
