Hi Dad,  I’m fine.

Well…we’re at the end of the experience of our lives – but we can smile at the thought that it will all happen again.  We may see it as the end but in my eyes this is only the beginning of our fantastic friendship with everyone here.  There’s no doubt that I’m coming back- whether it is within 2 years or 10 years I will step on Indian soil again.

We have all seen things we could never comprehend, sat before scenes we could have never dreamed and established friendships and bonds that will never break.  I give special mention to Pastor Raj, Vanitha, Sharon, Captain Thacker, Pastor Abraham, Sister Ruth, Danny (and his bike), Benjamin and James May (who’s book kept me sane all fortnight.) 

I’m aware that my last blog was from the Kennedy Experience- so its been a while- but I feel that I just wanted to soak everything in, and read over them all from the words of my friends rather than pour everything out before I had even taken it all in.

It is however sad to be leaving as I am going to miss the people I have met here – we have been welcome and treated like family here and it is always difficult to say goodbye.  I must note that it has been good to have Sharon here with us too – as having someone our age that we can relate to has been refreshing- so it’s a good thing we all have Bebo.

We have all had our ups and downs, good days and bad days, mornings for some!! But all of us have come out the other end as strong friends as ever- if not stronger.  I know I’ve certainly had a rocky fortnight- name an emotion and I’ve probably been through it, but I have not been alone which has been a key help for me.

In the words of Minty
