WOW, I can’t believe how fast two years flew by,
like a silent breeze hiding in
the sky.
From a 9 year old boy arriving at the end of 4th grade,
who didn’t know any math, and
oh my, would he even pass?
To an 11 year old 6th
grader who has all A’s,
and has blossomed like a flower from a field of clay.
A child who did not know us
two years ago.
A child we have nurtured and
watched him grow.
He had to adjust to
the Lobo rules.
Number one, there is no
exception when it comes to school!
More rules to follow, just to
name a few:
“No you are not 13, so PG is
the limit you!”
and “We don’t do picky eaters
so eat your vegetable soup!”
Yes Sir, No Sir, Yes Ma’am,
No Ma’am.
Holding doors and umbrellas,
doing dishes and cooking, oh and clean that room, Aunt Debbie will come
looking.
A house filled with structure
and big expectations;
“Andres, Aunt Debbie don’t
play that” to “Uncle Luis, (with encyclopedia in hand) can you please explain
that!”
He continues to astound us with
his brains and his wit.
Such a hard worker… he does
not know the words I quit.
This child has amazed us! He
has brought us such joy!
He has exceeded all expectations,
we are so proud of this boy.
A child that now shines like
a star in the sky.
A child named Andres Arce
Lobo, the apple of our eye!
Our
family has embraced him, we surround him with love.
A child moving forward in a
life full of hope and promise,
he fits our family like a
glove.
So spread your wings Andres
Arce, and soar like a bird.
Grasp every opportunity, and
do not be deterred!
The Lobo family stands behind
you like a pack of wolves!
March 26, 2012 - An unexpected surprise
A little boy of 9 years old
Came along and stole our heart and soul
It was fast and unexpected, but no thought was needed
We had always loved him from the very beginning
He hopped on a plane all alone
Flew through the skies to a life unknown
He rubbed his eyes, but did not cry
He was strong and brave, his courage astounding
We welcomed him with open arms to his new surroundings
He is sweet and loving and smart, oh so bright
With him he brings immeasurable light
We are simply delighted and feel so blessed
To have him come to our empty nest
We will love him and nurture him in our home
The future yet to be written in stone, but now and forever he
may call it his own.
Andres Arce Lobo, the bravest little boy I have ever known
I am in awe of your bravery, your courage, your fortitude!!!
