Faith trips - Part 4
I’m having a really hard time leaving my daughter at home for this next trip I need to take, and I feel so incomplete when she is not around. I know it won’t be so easy for the next 10 days. Saturday I am leaving to help plan a five-day Youth Training Camp for all the participants of the AIP here. It is going to be maddening fun though, and don’t get me wrong, everyone is dying to be there (it could probably be likened to Eurock that Flo wrote about).
Still, for parents it’s never easy to be away from our kids, and I do look forward to some days with my family when I get back, since Vin is also away for sometime, leaving Kaila somewhat of an orphan… heh. She has her favorite teacher Annie though, and of course both of her grandmas will be around, so all should be well! Every privilege comes with some sacrifice, and I’m happy that it’s only ten days after all and I will be getting some training that I sure need to do with Youth Counselling.
Yawn… I’m tired and gotta pack. By the way, today happens to be Dandiya, a famous festival here in India. They do this really cute dance where you hold a stick in each hand and then sort of bang each others sticks in a formation and turn and switch partners etc. It’s interesting and if I didn’t have to pack I’d be out there jigging with the neighbors. Heh. Toodles…
