Today was actually a really good day. I’ve been working with this little boy for a few months now, but he wouldn’t speak—and after what he’s been through in such a short life, I can’t blame him.” Indira paused, chewing on her lower lip. “But I decided to try something new today and I took him outside to sit in the sunshine. He was hesitant at first, but slowly, he relaxed. He rubbed his sweet little hands over the grass, dug his fingers into the dirt. Raised his face to the sun and actually smiled. And then he talked—just a few sentences—but I almost cried I was so happy to hear his voice.”
