Nkosi.
He is adorable, and bursting with potential.
All of the kids at Hope House are.
I will miss them next year.
A week from today, we say goodbye.
But HOW?
How do I say goodbye to them?
I’m not sure, but I will find out.
I know that it will hurt.
But that’s okay….
they are worth it.
ya know, i’m kinda glad for the hurt. it means you loved deeply.
I agree. I would much rather love them and have it hurt to say goodbye than to not love them at all.
Oops…I unintentionally sounded like a cliche…It’s better to have loved and lost than to not love at all. HA.
i don’t mind the hallmark-card cliches!
I think that is probably something that you only can accurately describe when you are in that specific situation. It is not going to be something that you will be able to plan out. It won’t be fun or easy for you to leave them next time, knowing that it is the last time while you are there. However, through all of the tears, and all of the hugs and “good-bye’s” I am sure there will be happiness. It is hard to see the happiness sometimes, but it is good that you are recognizing now that it will be hard, but that that doesn’t effect how much potential all of these children have, or how important every one of them are to God. Know that all of you have made large impacts on their lives and they will not soon forget any one of you.
