Letter.

We received our first letter from Tejan today:

"Kisses! Kisses! Love! Love!

Dear the Goins family,

How are you doing? I hope you are doing fine and well. I was so blessed to come to your home last summer. Thank you so much for being kind to me, may God bless you all and keep you safe in your daily work. I was so happy to see my brothers and sisters back home. I want you to know that I had a safe trip back to Sierra Leone. I love you all in Christ. Amen.

Hi Aunty Cathy, this is me Tejan. How are you doing? I love you so much and I am doing fine with my exercises. My mouth is opening wide. I am doing my exercise every day and my legs are still ok, thanks be to God.

Please give for me Ethan, Savannah, Kyler, Uncle Asia, Maddie, Maddie's mom and dad, Sydney and her family - give them for me a huge hug. Also greet for me the Arguinchonas, the Tesariks and the Swobodas. Please tell them that I love them all.

Aunty Cathy, I want you to give Ethan and Savannah a very and awesome special hug.

My friends and my brothers and sister and families are sending greetings to you all. And we are all doing fine and well here in Africa, although it is hot.

I've got so many things to tell you but this is all Ican tell you for now. God bless you all in Jesus name. Lots of love and kisses.

Tejan"

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around.

And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well.
