Reflections......
The time has finally come to say Good-bye to Guatemala! This is my last day here and all I can think of is that tomorrow morning can not come quick enough. I am very sad to be leaving some great friends behind( especially Ginger and Deborah and Maya).... I wish they were on a plane with us. Also, the staff at the Marriott has been wonderful!! They know me by name and were even worried about me last night because they did not see me come back to the hotel after my trek to the mall. I am a ball of emotions right now thinking about how life has changed since I have been gone and how we now need to meld this family back into ONE. Layla has become very possesive of me and I want my boys to know that they do not take a backseat with their Mommy because we have one more in our family. I know the days ahead will be hard but it always is when you add one more to the fold. Thank you my dear friends for helping me through these last few weeks. I would not have been able to do it without you. There are so many tales of Guatemala to tell that I could probably write a book. This is the country my children were born and I do not ever want them to forget their culture and all of the truly wonderful people here that were a part of their lives. We will return with them when they are old enough to understand. ADIOS...... See you back in the U.S.A.

I am so happy to see you and Layla go home. I might even see you off in the morning. However, it does make me sad to see some very dear friends go. I am so thankful that I got to meet you and Layla. Can't wait to see homecoming pictures. Have a safe flight.
I am so glad to see that you are finally coming home!! Have a safe trip!!
