My Nurse Nancy has returned from her trip that she took that was back home to Africa...I'm not sure exactly where, but she did mention that she visited the old village where she had grown up. She said it had changed quite a bit in 5 years time. She has come a long way, literally! From growing up in a somewhat primitive, small, village to here in America and raising a family and is an RN. I was so glad to see her. Hopefully now I can get back into my good sleep mode knowing that she is here. Her little 3 year old son is recovered from his case of malaria(from mosquitoes)and hopefully it won't rear it's ugly head again. He could experience symptoms for many years.
Yesterday, I had somewhat of an emotional breakdown at the elementary school. I was doing flashcards with two of my favorite kids to work with. They both started sharing things with me. It was a high and fun experience from one and then a low-low experience from the other. When it was time to leave, I shared it with my nurse and teacher and felt some tears starting to creep out of my eyes. I was glad to feel these feelings because sometimes I realize that I haven't cried in a while and need a good release. It was just a lot to absorb in a few minutes time I guess. I really love being with the kids. I get a little tired, but is so worth it!
Goodnite and thanks for reading and letting me share and feel like someone is listening. I can get a little lonely at times.
