Untapped Talent

Johane has an untapped talent. She loves to cook. She grilled hamburgers on the grill with Papa Dennis last week. She was so excited because we were going to make cookies again tonight. She has oatmeal cookies with raisins down pat. And she is so proud of herself when they are all done.
She is getting a little homesick. She had to look through the visualize haiti book again today. We had to read the Tap-tap book about Sasifi in haiti. We also had to pull out all the haiti pictures so she could point out all the people she knows. She told me about her family. One set of twins is a boy-girl set.
She showed Papa Dennis on the calendar that one month from tomorrow she goes back to Haiti.....then waved at him and said bye-bye Papa. I wonder who will be crying that morning?
Her contact is doing well and her skills are improving daily. Her eye is also handling it well. We got the final report from Anderson Eye, they found a detached retina on the Ultrasound scan as well as the scarring and the cataract. The return of vision with all this would be too unlikely to consider repair, and the risk to the other eye too high.
As we look forward to Holy Week we sing along with Johane..."Open the eyes of my heart Lord....I want to see YOU." God Bless,
Cynthia and Johane
