Cairo

Hey you, I miss you. I really, really miss you. If circumstances were different, I know we'd be talking every single day, especially this month. I've done this mission before; and now it's your turn. All the nights on the corniche, all the hibiscus and cinnamon tea. All the weddings you can hear at 4am; oh how I wish I could hear all about them from you. And I'd join in on your happiness; because I remember these things made me happy five years ago. I would have selfishly lived this experience through you, as you recount what the children did to you today and how many cockroaches you've seen so far. How are you finding it? I am glad you have a bed to sleep on rather than a mattress on the floor; and I am glad you have a genuine smile in all the photos I am seeing. Gosh, it's so good to see you that happy on the outside, but I pray you are just as happy on the inside. I pray that you don't find this mission too challenging, but I know the group and the children are lucky to have you. Hang in there; you (and hopefully we) will be talking about this experience incessantly in a couple of years time. I hope this special thing resides in your heart forever, you special person.
