Last night


As I came back to the house tonight the generator switched off and for a few moments the sky was brilliant with all the stars. How amazing that we all look up at the same sky no matter where we are. It was a good last day. The students were in fine form. Finished their exam this afternoon with flying colors! We shared a celebration with cookies and a few small gifts for them which they were very pleased about. They sent me off with a farewell song written and preformed by them to thank me. It was very sweet and I'll try to upload the video to the blog when I get home. It is always a mixture of emotions to come home. Of course I cant wait to see mike and my family and the changes on the house but there is also a sweet sadness to the ending of this chapter. Edith and Susan are great and will continue to lead the students well but it is hard not to become attached. They are a very sweet bunch. There is also a simplicity to life here that will be hard to leave. It is just my quest to keep this open mind and heart no matter where I am. Not to take for granted even the little things. Thanks for all your prayers.
