Heartache

I spent a wonderfully sunny afternoon with all the ladies in Jay's family to celebrate his cousin's wedding shower.

After all the food was eaten, presents were opened, and cupcakes were devoured, Jay's family asked me about my trip to South Africa.

And I sat down and cried.

For all the injustice and innocence lost.

For all the disease and heartache.

For all the hardship.

So today, I focus on the postive, and pray for the people of South Africa.

Who long for a healthy love.

Ache for food.

And pray for safety.

I'm thinking of you today.

And every day.

And for all the wonderful people from iThemba Lethu who give their love, sweat and tears for the children of South Africa.

I daydream of the day that I see you all again.
