Hi everyone,
It seems there is just not enough hours in the day to spend with all these people I have come to love. How is it that I already leave tomorrow? Time is too short for those who love that's what Henry Van Dyke said. Oh how that is true. Every last minute I have been enjoying with these people. I have been asked by several people when I am going to come back to Uganda forever. I know I'll be back, but I don't know when or how. Perhaps that is the beauty of it.
I am going to the lake today with some of my friends here. I just love spending time with these people. In much the same way I just love spending time with my friends from home. There are some things about home I am looking forward to, and many things I know I will deeply miss here.
One thing that people ask me here is whether or not my parents are still alive. At first it came as a surprise to me because at home that is not something you would generally ask someone my age. But here I suppose it is all to common for a lot of people to not have parents.
Remember Wasswa that I sponsor? The one whose Grandfather is not well. We stopped and gave them some food the other day and the Eagles Wings social worker stopped in for a visit yesterday and found that the Grandmother had not eaten in 3 days. A gift received in a timely moment, they are a blessing to me and I won't soon forget them.
Anyway sorry this is so short, I must be going.
