Singing the Blues

It seems that we're all feeling "the blues" this week. Dennis and I are more tired than normal. Things are harder to remember and find. We seem to be a little more emotional about issues. Johane is showing signs of stress. She's hollering out in her sleep again. She holds me very, very tight every morning and every night before bed. She has never been a clinger, but I think she's filling up before going home. She has spontaneously told me that "I love you". Her little ti bo's (kisses) are now on the mouth instead of the cheek.

She's spending some special time with Deb this weekend, getting filled up with her love. Deb and I shared a few tears talking about Johanes return to Haiti. Deb has the priveledge of going to see her in June. That is helping her with her sadness.

Tomorrow is her last Sunday at Church. She'll have the chance to say good-by to all of her friends. Tomorrow we'll pack up most of her things...at least those we can fit into our cases.
On Monday we'll say some last good-byes to special friends and then head down to Detroit and stay overnight for a bright and early flight in the AM on tuesday.

Keep us in your prayers. We need all the help we can get to complete this journey.
Thank-you for sharing with us with your prayers, your heart, your time and your love.
We are well aware that we have never been alone on this journey but have been held in the palm of the Lord's hand. We also know that we have been held there by the prayers of the saints...you.
May God Bless you. Cynthia and Johane
