Countdown

Jack and Julia made a count-down calendar to Grammy's arrival on
Wednesday. Every day they tear off one more number from the back of
the door, and spend the rest of the day saying : "Guess what? ONLY
FOUR MORE DAYS . . . ." The excitement builds. And I'm thankful that
in spite of spending 14 of our 15 years as parents on the continent of
Africa, our children securely sense their connection to all of their
grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Our sense of family spans
the thousands of miles, but the countdown to a real hug is still sweet.
