Full Circle
Today at 3:10 pm I picked up someone very special from the airport. I picked up the nun that raised me in the orphanage I was in in Vietnam. Sister Rosalie is here visiting me for a month. When we went to Vietnam last year I asked her to come to the US to visit us and lo and behold...here she is! She has already spent 2 weeks in California visiting other friends. She went to the Redwood Forest, San Francisco, San Jose and several other places. She has a cell phone, a new camera and she's ready to roll! She will visit some friends in Mobile, I will take her to New Orleans and we will do somethings here locally. Then she will fly her to Massachusetts to spend a week with my sister and her children and then I will meet her in Orlando so she can visit my Daddy and see what Florida has to offer. From there, she will fly her to Los Angeles so she can visit more friends and then she will head back to Vietnam. She will be in country for over 2 months by the time all of this is over. I am so thrilled to be able to do this for her and for her to experience some of what I have experienced in my lifetime. Mike and I feel so blessed that we have been able to see her world and now we are able share ours with her. She seemed to be so impressed with everything she has seen so far. It is a far cry from Vietnam and the community she serves at the charity hospital. She has spent a lifetime serving others and now is her time to be served. We feel so blessed to be a part of this journey.
