until next time

Some of my sweet community kids.

This past Thursday was my last day at Grace.

Over the past 5 years since my first trip to Zambia in 2008, I have grown to love these children as if they were my own; some of them call me Mom, and, to me, they are my kids.  It will be a difficult adjustment for me as I go from seeing them in person every day to just seeing them in pictures and in my memory.

As much as I am looking forward to going home and the new direction my life will take, it is going to be hard to leave everyone here in Zambia.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along with me on this journey.

Ps. This isn't the end.  I hope you don't mind if I post a little out of order. . .I will post more pictures of Cape Town, my parents visit and more pictures of my time here in Zambia.
