I spent an hour looking at those pictures...so touched by the obvious love you had for each of them!<br /><br />You are making such a difference in the lives of the middle schoolers you are working with! That is definitely the toughest age!Jenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687536881837639126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712326975338837060.post-43917346658980525652010-09-02T09:51:23.501-05:002010-09-02T09:51:23.501-05:00um I hate to rain on your Joel parade- but that ye...um I hate to rain on your Joel parade- but that year he also stole my ipod speakers and carried them around in his backpack for 3 months before Anthony McQ.

He wants so badly to be with his mom, but his mom wants nothing to do with him. He stole Mikey's (Matt's cousin) van and tried to go see her. Half way there, he finally realized what he'd done and called Mikey crying to say he was sorry, but it was too late, they had to send him to Juvenile Detention. I cried.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713177036125832576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712326975338837060.post-38531115365890613082010-09-01T21:54:40.576-05:002010-09-01T21:54:40.576-05:00Great story!Great story!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302205573059363896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712326975338837060.post-13877588497630482362010-09-01T21:32:51.460-05:002010-09-01T21:32:51.460-05:00I almost cried when I read that.
