Thank you. Yes, they deserve the best of ourselves, as parents and as community. Unfortunately, so many times children get the leftovers. My hope is that we turn off the mindless distractions in order to focus on what is real and deserving of our attention.
The look in his eyes is haunting. Too many experiences for such a young and precious child. The title of this photograph speaks volumes. Thanks for posting!!
What a beautiful image. Look at his inquiring eyes! He is a grown man now, perhaps with children and grandchildren of his own, and, hopefully, like him, they have had all the opportunities they deserved! With our children in mind we immigrated into the free world many years ago! Indeed: They deserve better!

Yes, it is a timely reminder, and it seems that the most poignant of all portraits are the ones that show children with cares in the world.
