my sweet girl

Today, I got a letter from one of my sponsored children, Masresha. Once a year, Food for the Hungry has every child in the sponsorship program write a thank you letter to their sponsor, and that's what today's letter was. Most letters are generally the same, telling you how your money affects their lives, what it allows them to have, etc. Each letter, though, is totally personalized in the last few sentences. Masresha's last few sentences melted my heart.

"I love you so very much. You are one of my family members, and I also am the family of your family." Masresha, her mom and I. July 2008
