This is Isaiah. Today his Angel Tree Warrior posted this about him.
I imagine sweet Isaiah when they took this picture. Busy playing with toys and trucks. Looking up, not sure what was going on. No idea that THIS picture would capture his identity for so many. I know he has SO MUCH MORE to give than this one picture....more smiles, more hugs, more joy. Only 7 days left to have an ornament of Isaiah (or any other RR Angel) on your tree.
I have been thinking about this post since I read it. I have been thinking of how much Isaiah looks like Mr. O. I have been thinking about how Mr. O likes to make similar faces and such when he doesn't want his picture taken. Then I read a comment about this post, saying that these kids don't know what a camera is.
This is hitting me hard. They don't know what a camera is. No one wants to take their picture. No one wants to create a memory of them. They are not part of a family. They are not going to get older and look back at their baby pictures, and see how sweet and cute they were. Who will look at them? Who will care? As I sit here crying, I wish there was a way that would let them know that I care. They matter to me. Sweet little innocent Isaiah matters to me. And so does Jamison. And Preston. And Rebecca. And Cora Lynne.
That is why I continue to post. Even when I am sure that no one wants to read this. It is not funny. It is not cute. It is hard life. Hard for these kids. Hard for me. Please help me change this. Please share Reece's Rainbow with everyone until we can get a family for all the children.
