On my way home from work last night I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some papaya. A sweet little girl about 2 or 3 years old approached me and began to whimper. She took my hand and babbled in Malay. I was sure she had lost her mother, but totally amazed that she wanted me. Jeff has the opposite affect on small children - they cry and run in the opposite direction when he is around. Loved telling him about this one.
I finally found some Malaysian woman who took the little girl and found her mother. This little girl didn't even want to leave me. No, I don't need to take in children while I am here. I do draw a line.
from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
