so, i had to just give in and write it already…

we did connect with our families - well, i use the term “we” more in a collective sense….

i’ve been looking forward to this for weeks….i tend to do that, to build things up in my mind: holidays, vacations, birthdays….kind of like “clark griswold” in christmas vacation….

so, anyway, we were to take the boxes this afternoon…around 5….

the only problem is, i happened to be running a fever…all day….and it didn’t magically disappear just before i was to go deliver the boxes…

so, since it’s not really about me…..it’s not about me at all - i decided that those families didn’t need to add whatever i’ve got to their hardships….

so, byron took the kids.  they were moved by the visits…one family even told byron about another family that really needs help - WITH FOUR KIDS….little bitty kids, too…..

so, that’s it. i will have to dream about the next visit….and pray i don’t have to miss that one….

until then, i think i’ll just make some lists of things for the SEVEN children i now know about and want to help…

that gives me plenty to think about ’til i’m back on my feet…..

i can’t wait!

peace.
