Drawing

One day after I had recently returned from Haiti, my daughter Isabel stumbled upon me crying at the foot of the third-floor stairs. She was concerned and when I admitted that I was sad because I had not been able to bring Ian and Alec home, she went and created this drawing for me.

The two boys inside the heart are Ian and Alec; they are both holding balls because I had just shown the kids videos of the boys playing with the blow-up balls we took to Haiti for them.

At first I thought the figure outside the heart was me, but Isabel corrected me and explained that it is actually a fan. That made me laugh - bless her heart, she got the important parts right! :)
