Are you......

This last week I meet Pat and Cara Aylard, a couple just moved to Kampala to work with eMi EA for the next 2 years. Cara asked “Are you Shanthi's mom?” I was really surprised, until she explained that they had traveled here over a year ago to see about the possibility of coming on staff. As part of that time, they had spent an evening with Shanthi and Chad.

This may be the last time I hear that question here in Africa. Soon eMi EA will have its 3rd director and all the incoming staff and interns will have likely not met Chad or Shanthi.

Changes....just part of everyday living. You just never know when will be the last time for any given thing. The last time to see an old friend, the last time to shop at a store or eat at a certain restaurant or kiss a friend. Makes each moment potentially more precious.
