I Am So Thankful For My Bestie

This week is a landmark in the life of my best friend. He is enjoying his first real vacation. It is amazing because he was born in a very poor part of Guatamala and moved to America when he was twelve. By the time he was sixteen he was forced to drop out of high school to work full time for his stepfathers business. He was basically treated like a slave. Thank goodness he was smart enough to get his American citizenship when he could. This past year has been a crazy roller coaster. But because of his amazing strength to break away from his abusive situation he has been able to have his first real vacation. He decided to go to Niagra Falls and stay in the local hostels. He has been texting me beautiful photos the whole time. I am so proud of him.
