My daughter and her husband recently left for the Peace Corps and I have been corresponding with some amazing people - the parents of these exceptional young people. Many of these PCV (Peace Corps Volunteers) have started blogs. They have no idea if/when they'll be able to udpate them but when reading their amazing and fun blogs, they've inspired me.... They're fun, they're funny, they're introspective and informative... I may not be a PCV, but I'm the parent of one (well, 2, sort of - my daughter and son-in-law...). I think of them everyday, wonder how they are - if they're safe, if they're well, if they're overwhelmed or homesick....
So here I sit - with all the first-world comforts, trying to express my own thoughts of what it's like on the other side of being an LR-5er.....
I feel like my family has grown. Your children are my children. When I read one of the blogs, I am proud that my son is surrounded by such wonderful PCV. I'm looking forward to "meeting" their Liberian families as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree Ann! My world has expanded greatly in the past 10+ days and I feel like this is just the beginning.... :)
