We all had a blast selecting the fabric for our saris and picking our kurtas! We all now have henna tattoos! Not to worry......they ONLY last a month! Yikes!

Colt,
ReplyDeleteThank God you are all safe. Can't wait for you to be safe at home with us. Grama Jane wanted me to tell you she is very proud of you and misses you terribly. See you soon Sweetie. I love you.
Been waiting anxiously for some news. Great to see some new pics and just got a text...relieved. Enjoy your last day in India and everyone have a safe trip home. Jenna, I can't wait to see you!!!
ReplyDeleteWow..we are all relieved I'm sure. Thank you for last nights text & this morning. It is greatly appreciated...like hugely!! You should all be so proud of all you accomplished! Take the rest of this time to appreciate where you are, the sights, the sounds, etc.. I hope you have all taken lots of pictures- we all want to hear about everything!! You will each take something with you as we'll as leaving a part of you in Chevuru--each & everyone of you are AMAZING & an inspiration! We are all beaming here back home-- I have a feeling your last circle tonight will be amusing & touching. Enjoy your last evening & safe travels!
ReplyDeleteLuke, we can't wait to see you & hear all about your adventures. Hope you had a good day- I hear the camels were quite the experience. Haha. I'm sure you had fun storming the castle!! The world is at your feet-you are an amazing young man. Miss you & Love you
Yes, what a relief to see some pictures and to receive those texts - especially the one that came in around 11:20 or so last night... I couldn't go to sleep until I saw that! When I came out of my class at JWU yesterday, four of my colleagues were waiting for me with strange looks on their faces. I asked them what was going on, and they said that there had been a bike bombing in an outdoor market in Hyderabad. None of us had ever even heard of the city until Alanna went there with Infinity, and now the world news was that there was a bombing there? Wow - I never want to relive the terror that flowed through my body at that instant. We soon received the text that everyone was OK, though (Kim, you are an angel for sending that text!), and I was able to breathe again. It was actually an interesting moment for me because although I worried that I had exposed Alanna to unnecessary danger by allowing her to go to India, I also realized how little control I actually have over what happens in life (I mean, is it any more terrifying to send her to India than it is to send her out to drive alone on East Main road?). It's been an emotional week, from joy, to sadness, to fear - an experience, I'm sure, that none of us will ever forget, and that most definitely has left a permanent imprint on our kids' lives. Can't wait to see you all on Saturday night. Now you guys have to do your "no snow" dance because another big storm is coming in on Saturday night! XOXO Alanna - can't wait to hug you!
ReplyDeleteWhat an artist...the henna design is so intricate and beautiful. Can't wait to see yours, Col! I'm just going to say "ditto" because the other parents have already said just what I've been thinking...so relieved that you are all safe and well. Colleen, I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful face and giving you a great, big hug...love you so much! XOXO
