Dear God,
Please be with Andrei’s family.
How hard must it be to be an ocean away from your precious only son,
knowing that he is doing well but loving him and missing him just the same.
Please be with his mom as she works
not one
not two
but three jobs
in an effort to support her children’s dreams.
Please be with his dad as he waits
for the economy to imporve
so that folks will again be taking trips
requiring a driver
thus providing income for their family.
Please be with his sister as she learns
to be an 18 year old that can help
as her mom waits
for the return of her brother.
Please be with Andrei
that he continues to hold on to his dedication and drive
and that the world and especially the universities
will recognize what a jewel and remarkable young man he is
and reward him with the opportunity to study
so that he might continue to be a blessing to folks yet to meet him.
Dear God
thank you for sending Andrei into our life,
it is so good for my boys to know him.
Amen
