The boy whose time it is now.....

Josh has seen many of his friends and room mates leave for their new families.  He is now the oldest in his bedroom and has told the staff of his child caring agency this:  "It is now my time."  (Meaning that it is his time to find a family to call his own.)  He is a gentle soul and I swear that I saw him grow an inch in front of my very own eyes!  It truly did happen when he was introduced on our first day here and the director of his child caring facility said that Josh loves to run, and that he is a very fast runner.  In fact he won his school competition and competed in the regional races and earned third place there.  As he stood before us listening he really did grow one whole inch and there was a sense of pride that came over him.  During our stay at the resort he also conquered his fear of water and learned to take a few strokes in the pool.  He is a quiet boy, but a brave one who needs to be reminded that he has talents and that he deserves more - especially a kind and loving family.  So Josh, I agree - It is your time!
