I just did the hardest thing I've ever had to do: say goodbye to our babies here in Africa, not knowing when we'll see them again. Sad barely describes what took place. They were happy to see the caretakers as they recognized them, but once they were in the vehicle driving away and realized what was really happening, they all began to cry. So much grief needs to be let out. Praying for God's comfort and safety as we start our journey home today.
Saying Goodbye. There can never be enough hugs and assurances of our love.
NO REGRETS. Every day spent knowing our girls was such a joy.
Ugh Jackie. I she'd tears for you.
ReplyDeleteWith the comfort of your family and friends drawing near you will be OK too. What a battle! But you are not out of it by leaving. Those girls need you to fight for them so the work there will continue and in the Lord's strength you will press on and persevere. Shaping your life and your character with your faith in God and the love he has already shown to you. Grieve! But know they are safe. It's not the end. My prayers for you and your family are constant. Trust him. He's better at consoling. Love you. Cannot wait to see you!
