Miguel is such a sweet child and you can tell that he has such a sweet spirit about him. When Miguel smiles at you, you can’t help but to smile back at him. You can see the love that is in his eyes. Talking with him gets funny after a while because he will continue to ask the same question over and over again. For any of you are not aware Miguel has a physical handicap as well mental. He is willing to help out around the house when ever we clean and he seems to not allow his handicap prevent him from doing activities with the older children. I wish that I could see him have more things to do with his disabilities but I love to also see him take on the challenges that he faces being with other children that do not have a hard time as he does. When putting the pools up for the children all the kids came running in to help out and to assist in any way possible and part of that group was Miguel, he would but the pipes together and hand them to us when we needed them.
The other day while driving back from the beach all the kids had received some icy drinks and all the children had given Miguel their empty cups and straws, few minutes later looking over at him the had all six straws in his mouth trying to suck up every last drop. It was so cute to just watch him sit back drinking it with his little hat on his head that looks like a fishing hat. He also has such a funny since of humor the other night some of us volunteers went over to casa five to play some games and Miguel had joined us part way though at first he helped out one of the volunteers and then the last game got some cards of his own. During the game he kept cracking jokes and making all of us laugh.
I think that one thing that I truly love about this kid is that he is just so innocent and has such a simple and innocent mind, and a good heart. When he says something you know that it is sincere.
