Infant Room at Luz de Maria

As we walked up to the infant room, we could still hear a baby crying from before. The room was very small and often there were two babies to a crib. The cribs weren't very big either so they were very cramped. Immediately, everyone picked up a baby and just held them because we learned that they rarely got held due to the small number of employees. Many of them were sick and crying, but we wanted to comfort them. I remember one, Angel Gabriel, who was quite older than the others (I think 8 months), compared to the other babies who were probably less than 6 months. He just looked up at you with those big, brown eyes and wouldn't look anywhere else. Everyone held him, but as many people started to leave, I was holding him and he started to get very heavy. I finally convinced Mark to put the baby he was holding back and take Gabriel for a while. Another thing I recall in the infant's room were two babies in the same crib, no more than two months old, and next to them were their name tags were, the sign said "Bebe sin Nombre" which translates into "baby without a name". These were the babies that were found on the street and didn't have a name since the courts who give them names had closed for the break. After spending a long time in the infant's room, I was one of the last to leave to see what the older kids were doing and help out with lunch time.
