This kid makes me wanna cry. And I'm a guy.
I've noticed, many who visit here have had a similar reaction to one photo or another - I know I have. How special to go online and find an image that touches you so deeply.
Many, many thanks Dave!
Looking at his eyes I just felt a chill, and it made me want to cry. I never have that kind of reaction. What an amazing photo.
