Daddy's thoughts

It is Sunday morning at 7:47AM. The temperature is around 70. Before we left for the trip rain was in the forecast everyday, but we have been blessed with wonderful weather. Hope we can bring this all home with us. Yesterday would have been perfect day for our April 21 golf event. 78, sunny, and light breeze.

Every morning we wake up with a light mist, fog, then the sun burns it all off. The sun is once again bright orange this morning. A little less traffic today, but still alot of people going somewhere. Reminds me of the Brandon Heath song, "Give me Your eyes". God cares so much for these people, and I am certain His heart breaks for them.

Megan continues to grieve. She has happy moments. Seeing her yesterday at the park was a real joy. She was pointing and laughing at many things. It does us good to get out of this hotel and go do stuff. Unfortunately, today is a 'free' day for us, so nothing officially is scheduled for us to do. We will most likely go for a walk. We have found the taxi drivers quite accomodating. I think they are privileged to have Americans in their cars. They speak to us and make jokes, and drive very excitedly to get us to our destination. We have not felt unsafe, as everyone drives crazy in China. With all the craziness and amounts of people we have only seen one accident, and this was just a fender bender. We do hear sirens from time to time, but don't know where they are going.

Yesterday at the park I got the opportunity to speak with some Chinese college students. They wanted to try their english. Then they wanted a photo with me. I remember the days when you wanted just one college girl to even look at you, but yesterday, I had 6 or 7 so excited to meet an American and speak with them. They invited our family to tour their University. However, we heard it is too far off to take taxi. They attend Guiyang University. They were helpful for Megan, as they shared some sort of bread snack with her, this was good, because Megan didn't eat a good breakfast. (Her grief moments are spread more out, and have come at meal times - this is a concern, because she needs to eat) At least she is drinking plenty of water and she likes lemon lime gatorade, so yes - a Western drink.

I have been warned that my time on is shutting down 28 seconds and counting , so I will post herea.


Blessings,
