correspondence 12/5/06

I cannot begin to tell you how meaningful your emails have been in the past weeks. The first one you sent felt like a warm cup of tea to my withered spirit. Tears welled up in my eyes as I read your advice, sent with so much love and understanding. I have taken everything you wrote to heart. Thank you so so so much - I really can't begin to tell you how much these emails mean to me. Not to be hyperbolic but I felt like I was drowning and you threw me a rope.
I look forward to seeing you, hopefully soon (mungu akipenda - or God wishing, there's an arabic version of that phrase but I have no idea how to spell it). I'm getting better. Your emails have really helped and I've also been using my traditional spirit-lifiting methods. I went to church on sunday with some of the girls on the program which made me feel a lot better. I'm not one for the preaching or organized religion really but it was comforting nonetheless. The service was colorful, vibrant and exciting - full of music, dancing and love. I needed to see that type of hope and happiness, it gave me courage. I'll keep you posted on my re-entry process. Hopefully we'll cross paths soon!
