Seriously, I'm changed from this trip. I saw and experienced some marvelous things. Some are to sacred to write about just yet.
Whenever we visit, inevitably, someone comments on how a child has grown. Sometimes I think how much older someone looks as well. When you're with someone day in and day out, you don't really notice the changes they make, both physically and otherwise. One really great thing about living far away from family is that when we go home it's so fun to see how each person has changed, or matured. I'd never notice it if I lived there, so I like that about my life.
I won't get too personal here, but some of my family has changed... for the better. And just in case you know who you are... I thank you for your work. I hope it's as worth it to you as it is to me.
Families are forever. :)
