View from our flat at Bap
I have to admit, I'm suffering from a huge writers block! It's frustrating, I want to have something brilliant to write to inspire and make you feel moved, but at this point I have nothing. I have some pictures of some sweet kids that wake up everyday sleeping 3 to a bed. Kids that share a room with about 10 other kids, a normal sized room. Kids that play in broken glass and sand and still smile and laugh deep wonderful laughs. Kids that bathe with about 20 other kids at the same time. Kids that don't understand the world and how it can be so unfair. They don't realize that other kids, when they are sick, can go lay in their clean bed and be nurtured and doted on by mom and dad. They don't realize that other kids have thier own rooms with toys overflowing through out their own house. They don't realize that other kids can go to parks with green grass and jungle gyms that aren't broken and dangerous. They don't realize that their smiles will be forever in my heart and the lessons they teach me will change me forever. They will grow up and become who knows what. Our prayers can linger with them, but again, this world is not fair and their destinys are unknown. But for now, I can make them laugh, hold them when they fall down, and rock them when they are tired. It is the least I can do for what they have done for me. Will be more inspiring next time!
