My heart has literally hurt since last week when Charles got
word from Abdul's uncle that Abdul had been staying in Regent while school is
out ... the area of the mudslide. There was a glimmer of hope late in the week
when his name was on a list of patients being treated at the Italian Emergency
hospital. Charles drove to the north of the peninsula, but it was another boy
with the same name. Charles made one last trip on Saturday to check rosters,
but we finally had to realize that Abdul is no longer with us. As I stood at
the site of the disaster early this week, I thanked God for the privilege of
knowing Abdul even if only for a brief 5 years. His sweet smile remains in my
thoughts.
