We had chocolate cake just for you!! : )
So, one of the most difficult things about living so far away from home is that you have to miss important moments like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other get- togethers. It is part of the cost of living abroad. Moments in time can never be duplicated so you have to live with the reality that you will miss those moments with the people that you love and trust that this too is part of God’s will for being far from home. It’s not always so easy.
So, on Friday it was my sister Kristi’s birthday. I have only missed being with her on her birthday a few times in her life so it was sad that this year had to be one of those years : ( Nevertheless, I thought about her all day, did get a chance to send her a present and card, and to top it off, my friends and I ate chocolate cake in her honor. It wasn’t the same but it was the best I could do. I love you Kristi and please know that your birthday was celebrated here in Ethiopia too!!! : )
