HEAVEN MEETS EARTH
He was a three-and-a-half feet tall bundle of emotion. In a few short years, he had unfortunately witnessed much more bad than good, a fact that became painfully clear to his foster parents as he ran screaming through the house. As they struggled to settle his fears, their silent prayers were filled with doubt. What could they do? They weren't equipped to handle a kid like this. Finally the screaming stopped, and there was silence, except for the quiet sobs of a little broken heart. The man fell to his knees. 'We will never hurt you.' At these simple words the sobs stopped. Time seemed to stand still as child and adult locked eyes. Then the most unexpected thing - a sloppy, wet, little boy kiss planted firmly on his foster dad's cheek. He ran off to play, leaving his caregivers stunned, realizing that heaven met earth for just a moment that day.
