Right now I want to be at the Hope House playing with Iverson. Playing with marbles, tickling each other, chasing each other... Hearing him yell my name as I walk through the gate.
Iverson came to the Hope House with His brother Galaxon after the earthquake. Their father died in the quake and their mother got sick and died quickly after. They remain the newest kids at the Hope House, the most rough around the edges... But also the two who showed the most love to me in the simplest ways.

I keep seeing Iverson's face the day I left... His sad confused face. And my heart cannot help but break for him.
