My buddy Alvaro.
I met him on my first trip to Nicaragua two years ago. He was so very shy that year. He didn't say much at all, but that sweet smile spoke volumes. He stole my heart that first visit.
Last year he wrote me a love letter and brought me flowers. Amazingly, he even remembered my name a year later. He will never know how deeply he has touched my heart.
March 2012
This year he declared that I am his novia (girlfriend). I do love that little boy.
Today is our last day in San Jose. He is not hanging out at the work site this year. I don't know if I will see him again before we leave. That might be a good thing as I'm dreading saying goodbye to that sweet little face again.
Every year I am amazed at how much I love the people here. Today we will say goodbye to everyone. It is so bittersweet. I am ready to be home again, I am just not ready to leave. It has been as always, a hard week, but in a good way. I will miss the wonderful people in San Jose.
