Reunited

The last time we saw them was a year ago at the Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The atmosphere was charged as members of our travel group were in a near frenzy attempting to locate luggage hastily strewn by our drivers into the darkness of the parking lot, as well as board airplanes which would take us from the continent of Africa and land us back to our respective North American cities. Though we had shared an experience which I can only liken to being present at the birth of a child, the chaos of the situation quickly separated all of us from one another and I never felt as if I had properly said good-bye to these newly met but intimate friends. And so it was with anticipation and joy that we were able to reconnect with one of the beautiful families from our group, to "ooh" and "aah" over our two children who had once shared a life together, as well as to meet the other children who make up our families. So special. Thank you again for taking the time to stop and be with us! Peace and goodness dear ones, until we meet again.
