Traveling

Friday, August 12, 2011

Today is another shower day and I am happy to feel warm water on my skin again.  I am sad that I have to leave my grandparents house but I know I have to go visit my mother’s mother in Valparaiso.  She misses me and calls me constantly to ask me when I am headed over there.  I know she wants to see me but for the last few weeks I have been glad to help my grandparents while they were sick and while I could.  Running back and forth to go get the day’s tortillas and bread, grocery shopping on daily basis for fresh fruits and vegetables and picking up medications has been a pleasure.  I wake up early and feel the need to pack.  I am not leaving until Monday but I am anxious to leave knowing that in just one week I will be making my way back to Juarez and hopefully back to my home once again.
