Another Special Note

This time I have gotten a very nice email from someone who has been at her orphanage back in March and that is what she had to say:

I don't post much on the yahoo forum, but I wanted to offer you my congrats. My girls also were at KM and I was there to bring them home in March. Your H is the one child out of all the children we met/saw there who really stood out to me. She seems like such an amazing kid - I just fell in love with her! She was all alone in the infirmary room with the worst case of nasty, bleeding chicken pox I have ever seen, but as we walked by she was standing in the crib and yelled my daughter's name excitedly. We went in to see her and they were all smiley and clearly fond of each other. She was beautiful and radiant and spite of the pox - which just really struck me considering where she was and how yucky she must have been feeling.

This is a beautiful note that I will keep in my daughter's lifebook forever so she can remember how special she was to other people. This is how we are surviving by getting pictures and notes from each other. When I go and get my children, I will try to visit all the orphanages and bless many parents to bring them back letters and pictures of their kids. I have more time to spend in ET anyway so I better put it to good use.
