It
was our last day of working with the children. Gabi and Alexandra left in the
morning. Gabi will apparently be going to a foster family and Alexandra was
going back to the placement center.
As
the afternoon drew to a close, we said our goodbyes to the children who have
made such a special impression on my heart. It was very meaningful to receive
big hugs and kisses from the staff as we were leaving. It has been a great two
weeks that, as usual, makes a deep impression on my life. The dear children and
the staff are in my thoughts and prayers. It is at this time that I tell myself
that quote attributed to Dr. Seuss, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because
it happened.” Goodbye, Barlad.
