Wordful Wednesday – Jon

img_3034274

This photo of Jon was taken last summer.
Jon is one of Cory’s best friends.  His parents abandoned him and he now lives with his soccer coach.
. . .and sometimes he stays with us.
He’s a great kid.  He’s very intelligent and has been on the high school decathlon team for the past 3 years.
He graduates this year and has plans to join the military and to continue his education through them.
We wish him great success and happiness.
I’m a participant of Wordful Wednesday over at:

    It sounds like he still has his life on track despite having bad parents. Amazing and I wish him luck.

    I love the new look of your blog!

    I honestly don’t understand parents like that. I hope he has a bright future ahead of him.

    I know some 17 year old twin boys that have a mom like that. A few years ago they lived with me for awhile (when I was still married – not a single mom) and then their mom took them back. Right now they’re living with my pastor and trying to finish highschool because their mom decided to move in the middle of their senior year. I just don’t understand some people. And these boys are sweethearts too. So sad.

    So sweet that you’re involved in his life and helping him along the right track!!! It’s sad to hear stories like this, and just hope he makes the right decisions, but it always looks brighter with people like you in his life!

    What a good looking kid but that’s awful his parents abandoned him. How old was he when they left? That breaks my heart.

    Love your new layout. The pic in your header is beautiful. Did you take that?
