We don't have many pictures saved on our computer from trips to Romania before 2008, but I do have this one. I came across it the other day. It was the first summer Jeff came to Romania and were here for about 5 weeks. We spent a lot of time with the kids at Casa Rebecca, including Levi (in red) and Stefan (aka Spiderman). He loved those boys and they loved him...and still do! The would play cards, teach him Romanian words and numbers, climb and hang all over him...what precious memories! The other week when the kids had vacation I noticed Stefan and Levi huddled over Jeff...and took the shot remembering the picture from 5 years ago. They have changed in so many ways, but are still the same sweet boys who love to play, wrestle, push your buttons, and laugh. How precious a gift it is to be able to invest in kids over longer periods of time. Even when it is time for us to go, I pray that these bonds will never be broken.
