A year ago today...

A year ago today, I was at the airport leaving this place...



and these people...
 

 

and of course my 2009 Valentine...

to come home to this family...

and this boy...
 who, days later would become by fiance, months later my husband, and months after that, my unborn baby's father.

I still miss la Republica Dominicana.  I still miss the babies...

I still miss the kids, the school, Odilcia with her smiles/singing/cooking.  I still crave moro, beaches, fellowship with makarianas, the laughter, tears, and everything else (but the spiders).  You never get over it, a trip like that.  No matter how long or short your stay is, it sticks with you.  And I think that's good.

Thank you Jesus for that trip and for where I am right now.

    Amen. I have very similar thoughts and feelings about my summer in Nigeria FOUR YEARS AGO... I remember watching world cup games there and hearing the boys dorm go crazy any time anyone would score a goal. :) Memories.
