I can bring some to you when we travel to DC end of May...I know this is a two year old post. I am really un-lurking, very quickly. I'll try not to comment on every post I read. I've only been through Pretoria once, lovely Jacaranda's still had flowers (late October). What a sweet boy...lovely. I have rooibos tea at my house from my sister-in-law!

My son (2) follows her around (she is almost 9) and wants to do whatever she is doing. My 6month old stares at her enamoured. She brings such a sparkle to my family and I often I thinkg God has used her as the glue when things have gotten hard. My husband and I will at some point leave the town we share with my family, while I am excited about moving forward, I dread leaving my family.

Or that we don't know we're missing. Strange thing, homesickness. It's that perpetual ache I think of all the good and beautiful things of God that we all long for.

Sometimes staying is harder than moving. So much to remind one of what's missing. I know what you mean. It's its own kind of ache, isn't it? Yes, yes. Sometimes staying is harder than moving.
