Meet Elir.

Words cannot express how much I love and miss this little 7 year old

Meet Cyrus: Elir's older brother who he looks up to so much ~ an incredibly sweet 12 year old who has had to grow up pretty fast

Cyrus and Elir would walk partway home with us everyday into town; they walked a very far ways each day to get to and from Smile. They live with their mother; their father is no longer in the picture...Cyrus has memories of him beating their mother as well as him and his brother. I'm so thankful for him looking out for Elir and will continue praying for them each day.
