Wednesday we celebrated Father's Day at the Impacto Juvenil Club where I serve with my coworker Sandra. As we were setting up for the party she looked at me and said, "I really like working with you." That felt so great! I like working with her too.
The party was a complete success. We laughed hard, we shed a few tears over beautiful words the kids shared with their parents. Then we ate and played soccer.
Less than half of the kids had family there. But the people who did come made a real effort. One father got the day off work to come! Other kids brought grandmothers or aunts. We welcomed every adult who is a support system to the kids we serve.
