August 1, 2018

The days that seemed to stretch forever when I landed have passed all too quickly and it is time for me to return home.  Just as I had a “welcome” party to greet me on my arrival, I have a “farewell” party to see me off.  

As we say our “goodbyes,” I recognize three phrases that, whenever or wherever I hear them, will always remind me of this special time in Malawi.

          “One more photo!” (Daughters in Malawi to me during our photo ops)

          “I have another question.” (me to the Daughters, always)

          “I miss you already.” (all of us, every time before our goodbyes)

As I fly over the Malawi countryside, I can pick out some of the sights we saw during our travels to visit Daughters and I smile with memories.
