Eustace absolutely loves his baby album that I put together for the big guy!

I think everyone enjoys being seen, noticed and/or appreciated, don’t you? The easiest example of this is kids, whenever you pull out their baby album… suddenly, you have a captive audience! Why do you think that is?

I guess we all just need to feel important to someone else, just for being who we are… even when life’s circumstances bury us beneath them, often distorting our appearance.

Even if the classroom is all messed up and the students are fakey cartoons… I still love the camel’s eyes, don’t you?

I think Eustace, like myself, became frustrated with always being at the back of the class,

left behind, forgotten.

What I love about the camel is his resilience, his choice to become better than what others thought his value was, and is!

For most of his live, Eustace had to exist and survive in places far beyond his young mind’s ability to understand. There were no other children or family to love him, for who and what he was.

He could have chosen to be hateful, and unkind to anyone who came near him… I fully understand that. I am so glad he chose to rise above it, and I think you probably are too!
