Just a thought
As I write this, the warm African sun is setting on the beautiful horizon outside my window silhouetting the trees and I can hear children laughing and amazing African music playing and women pounding what will become tonight's dinner and I am too aware how I am perpetually living in 2 worlds at the same time - there is always what I live every day here and what I live in my heart with my family and friends a million miles away. And when I was at home it was the same - the life I lived everyday with my family and friends and the life I was yearning to live out there somewhere. I miss you and I love you and I'm with you in heart and mind, and I love it here too and I love these people too and I will also miss them one day for sure:)
Uncle Mike - you can leave a comment after any post, but you can also email me at nanettemkelley@gmail.com if you like. I love you and miss you!
Steph and Dad - thank you thank you thank you for calling me. It is so wonderful to hear your voices!

Hey Nanette -
I was sitting around watching a Web cam from some game preserve in South Africa with my oldest son and thought of you. It sounds like you are doing great. I hope to send you a letter and package of goodies sometime soon.
Take care of yourself. E-mail me when you have the time.
