Yesterday, I was invited to birthday celebrations at the children's home where I used to go and befriend young people and teach some English. Lots has changed in the past year...All the girls are gone, now in different homes in different cities, all the boys age 18 and older are living in flats in the city, and the only boys remaining are the younger boys, ages 14-18 who also have some "special needs".
But yesterday, the "old guard" came back together to celebrate 4 boys' birthdays. It was so much fun to see some of the kids I invested time into over the years...they're so grown up looking and acting; all are in school and/or working, and many have girlfriends! It was precious to see them and share a short time with them, getting caught up on life.
