Here we are alone again, since Russ and Cheri left monday evening, and we had no appointments today we can feel the longing to go home set in. When we are busy or visiting with people from home it is not bad, but after being here so long and by ourselves we start to think about home. We only have one week left in Ukraine, we enjoy our time with the children and are already starting to think about having to say goodbye to most of them. It was difficult to see Vika leave in August, we do not know how to describe to feeling of leaving a dozen of children knowing that you will not see them again. We pray every day that all of them could find a home and someone to show them the love and kindness that all the children that are being adopted have. We can see in their eyes the hope and longing, they are happy for their friends but you can see that they wonder if it will ever happen for them.
Vika was in a good mood tonight, she knows that we are leaving for Kiev on friday, and as always her first question is "no school friday?'' I am not sure what time we are getting her from the home so I can not answer the question. Anslee and Vika Love are missing their parents and wanted us to tell them they love them.
We played cards and ate apples and candy. It was a nice evening and the girls were trying to talk with us more than usual. They were using our English/Ukrainian dictionary to find a word and we would use it to show them a word. It is late and and time to go to bed, tomorrow we are another day closer to home.
