Cocus





Sweet Cocus! Cocus stole my heart from the start. He can always be found holding tight around my legs! I love the way he looks up at me and says "auntie Jessica! I love you!" He is such a cuddle bug too-always, always in my lap or holding my hand. I love his smile and his laugh. He has such a squeaky voice and he is so special to me. Cocus was found by Kelsey Anderson last year at a medical clinic she was doing. He had TB of the spine but that is gone now except for his little hunched back that I miss having lay against my chest when it was story time. Oh cocus! You really do make me feel so loved. He is so clingy that sometimes I would almost topple over him just trying to walk somewhere sigh..but I love it and how I miss him now. Cocus is just a really good kid. He's playful and nice to other kids usually haha well...in school he would be naughty sometimes. But he is bright and I love the way he does things. Cocus LOVES to play soccer and kick the ball around. He also loves to play running games even more than most little boys! He is really fast and really good at sports! I tried to find a picture of Cocus's natural smile! its the best! but I cant seen to find one right now! I miss him so much!




I haven't felt this "Uganda sick" in a while because I think school is taking my mind off things. But today I getting an email from Momma Esther AND just thinking about Cocus has reminded me of my heart for these kids and for Uganda. Please pray for me because I'm still adjusting to things here in some ways and I really do want to go back to Uganda to be with these kiddos.
