Are we really leaving in one day?

This past week has been a whirlwind of sorting, packing, shopping, more packing and of course the hardest...goodbyes. Its amazing how India---and its people and culture---has woven its way into so much of our everyday life and how much of it we will miss. I can only hope we have enough tucked away in our hearts to carry with us as we transition back home and onto Arizona. Among those we will miss the most is Usha---our house help, but more appropriately, our dear friend. I'm bracing myself for the first time Addie asks for her, waiting to twirl around to "ring-a-ring-a-rosa". Consider yourself "officially tucked" Usha---we will certainly miss you!


And thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers as we prepare for the journey home. We can't wait to see you all and catch up soon!
