happy birthday!

Today was Bryant's birthday (see picture). Jolynn, one of the girls told us about it and Bryant didn't even know. When she said that it was his birthday he denied it and said "nooo, it's July 14th!" and when we told him that that is today he ran around and told everybody that it was his birthday!

I'm so happy that we got to sing for him and give him a birthday cake. You guys should have seen his face. It was absolutely beautiful!

It just makes me so sad to know that his parents didn't care enough to make an effort to even say happy birthday as he didn't even know about it.

I can't believe I'm gonna leave these kids. I love them SO much it's crazy! I just wish I could take all of them home with me! But lucky enough they have great people taking care of them as I leave. Emily, Janelle, Viktor, John! You guys are going to do a great job! And I know Ulu Pono is changing the kids lives! Thanks for being committed!
