Huck, there's a "Mark" in my life too. I never met a boy quite like him. He had this calm intelligence that seemed to convey many years of wisdom, and yet he was witty and playful at the same time. I could see so many things beyond his eyes, and yet he was only 10 years old or so. There was definitely something special about this kid. As he grew older, I could talk to him about anything for he seemed to be able to understand EVERYTHING. From the day I first met him, when he was 7, through the years that I lived with him, and to the day that our lives separated, when he was 14, I always felt there was something VERY SPECIAL about him. And now that he's 16, I pray to God that he doesn't get swept away with all the garbage that a lot of young adults get into. I just know he has the potential to be an awesome man of God -- someone capable of changing the world for the better! I've never met a boy like him, and he is the *one* I constantly miss and wonder about. ~Splash* |
