Back at the children’s home, Gabriel was quite the fighter.
He and his twin sister had been found beside a river.
He made it, but tragically his sister didn’t.

So young to have so much to “carry” with him………I’m sure you gave him much comfort.

I could not imagine coming upon the two alongside the river. All that desperation I imagine would have well up in me to help them fight for their own survival …a chance …sad yet triumphant story at the same time …for Gabriel lived …:)
