Most of the rest of us don't have to see these things, we don't have to deal with them, we are lucky that we have people like you who are taking care of little kids who don't have anybody else looking out for them. It's heartbreaking to see a child cry, but at least you were there with him. I'm sure that he sensed your kindness and caring. I'm sure that it made a difference. Maybe it made it easier for him to cry. That's not a bad thing.
