I had to say good-bye to you on Friday. I didn't want to. I just wanted to stay and care for you forever, but God said it was time to go. I love you so much. I love the way you love to explore. I love the way you smile really big when you get excited. I love the way your arms flap up and down as you are on another one of your explorations. I love the way you laugh when I swing you around. I love the way you take my hands in yours and make them clap. I love the way you rest in my lap and the other caregivers. I love the way you go into the other rooms and care for the little girls. I love that you love to sit and watch the woman at the sewing machine. I love it when you reach your arms out when you see me for me to pick you up. I love that you love to watch the woman cut the vegetables and prepare lunch even if you aren't supposed to be in that room. Most of all though, I just love you. Thank you for capturing my heart. I know God has you in His hands. I will always love you.
Love,
"Mom"
Update on traveling: We are leaving India on Wednesday. We are driving 7 hours to Hyderabad, India, and then sleeping in the airport. Then we will fly Thursday morning to Nepal. My team and I will be in a village 3 hours away from the capital (Katmandoo – spelling?) with the other team (GIRL POWER!). Since we will be in a village, I am not sure what the internet situation will be. I will update you when I can.
Fundraising update: Because God is AWESOME I am at $11,600 and have met my $11,000 deadline. I am blown away by how He is providing the money without me announcing the money I need all the time. I just need $3,900 more by the end of June to be fully funded and to complete the race.
