Then I woke up at 10 am after only 6 hours of sleep. I was too excited to talk all about the week with my family to realize I had not slept enough. Needless to say, by 3 pm I was already feeling it. We had our father's day party today and I was nodding off the whole time.
I was able to get through all of the emails in prep for work tomorrow, resulting in a 20 item To Do list. Looks like I will be jumping right back into things.
The trip:
I was asked how the trip was not long after turning my phone by on. It was absolutely amazing to be so disconnected and so non-dependent on technology, texting, etc for a week. I understand the irony of writing that on a blog post. I digress.
Before really considering much, I had typed back that it was one of the best weeks of my life. I plan to write up a summary of each day, some thoughts, etc. I jotted down some things in a notebook over a couple of days that I will type up as well. Regardless, I do not think there is anyway to put into words what the experience was like. To tell you how saddened I am at the thought that I may never see any of the people I got to spend the past week of my life with does not come close. It's hard to reflect on. I know it was only 1 week, but it felt like one year. I really go to know those kids, and the staff there, and it is heartbreaking to reflect on. I hope with all my might that I can find a way to go back next year. It was simply incredible and I am so so so grateful that I was able to do it.
Goodnight.
