One Month...



(7.11.12)
Well here I am at the “one month left” mark. It’s definitely bittersweet (a lot more bitter than sweet), and while I know I shouldn’t borrow tomorrows worries today I couldn’t help it this afternoon. I was out scrubbing the girl’s galri with the girls so it will be ready for the group to paint next week and as 15 little girls start putting on their swimsuits, playing, singing, laughing, slipping and sliding as we work I can’t help but ask, “how do you say good-bye?”
How do you say good-bye to 68 children whose lives you’ve been involved in for four months, who all have a place in your heart, who all long for stability and love, whose voices you now know before seeing the face they belong to…
