I'm glad you stopped by my blog today because I have nominated you for the HUG AWARD. I'll be mentioning you tomorrow in my next blog post. Congratulations!

Such a striking photo. And the story you tell about your husband's experience is so compassionate and effective. I got a sense of the fear and pain he must have felt. I, too, am glad he's never seen another child with a gun. I hope he has grown into a happy adult.

I can well imagine that lump in Jeffrey's throat when he took the photo, and the sense of relief he felt on subsequent trips.

Hopefully this young boy has gone on to do great things with his life. It would be fascinating for Jeffrey to go back to Cambodia and try to track him down (although nearly impossible, I realize).

I know all about the boy soldiers in Africa but really have not heard much about them elsewhere. That first picture is so sad….
