Farewell but not Goodbye

I have been riding an emotional rollercoaster the last 2 weeks. I spent over a week in Iringa with Kerrie at Rivervalley Campsite. Spending time there and with Kerrie helped me to rebuild some strength. I was too busy being in help mode to think or feel anything about myself. In fact, I was feeling so much stronger that I was actually starting to second guess myself and thought maybe I should have waited just a little bit longer before making a decision. But then the next day I totally broke down again and was crying and had no idea why. That clarified for me that I have most definitely made the right decision.

I am now back in Dodoma saying 'Farewell' but not 'Goodbye' as I know that I will be back again, even if it is just to visit. There really is something about Africa, the culture and especially the people that makes it so hard to leave. I now understand why my Aunty Louise stayed for so long, just like so many others.

I am staying strong through it all right now but I know the dam wall that I have been able to rebuild is not very strong and is full of cracks. It is only a matter of time before it gets washed away again. I only hope and pray that the dam wall lasts until I get home.

I will continue to post once I return home as I have so many in my head and so many more pictures and stories to share with you all. Thank you for your love, support and prayers thus far :)
