Home Sweet Home

After 26 hours of travel, I arrived home on Monday night. Aside from adjusting to the 12 hour time difference and trying to cough all of the pollution out of my lungs, I am alive, well and glad to be home. I am still trying to get my mind around all that we saw and did. I think it will take a bit of time before I am able to understand the impact of the time in India.

For now, here are a few things that make me glad to be home:
Michael's sweet face, hot showers, US customs and police, raw, fresh vegetables, cereal with cold milk, drivers who follow rules of the road, my bed, whole grain bread, independence and anonymity.




Here are a few things that I will miss about India:
Gracey, Yesudass, Samuel, Daniel, Shiny, Pinky, Pravene, Navene, Papa, and the rest of my Indian family, chapatis, the head bobble to indicate “yes,” being called Aunty, singing Christmas carols by headlamp, singing Katie Block original tunes, non-stop time with Charity Aunty and Katie Aunty.

As soon as I am able to gain concise perspective on our Indian adventures, I'll post what I've taken away from my time there.
