A fathers pride

This summer Emma has been working very hard on her portraits. The proceeds from these she has been saving for her return to Kyrgyzstan... in fact the next time she goes, we really are not certain how long it will be before she returns home.. If you look in her room you will see that she has gone beyond the family goal of de cluttering, but has actually started packing ... She is longing to return to her friends ....
Her other job this summer has been to assist me. She has worked on the spreed sheets and the folders used to make sure that all the dreams that have been sponsored have been recorded for income tax receipts , reported to the dream agents and that they are fulfilled in timely fashion... in this position, she is privy to some information....like what dreams have and have not been sponsored... Yesterday she came to me concerned... she said "Dad these Hydrocephalus operations are time sensitive, and we only have 2 of them sponsored... please take the money I have with you to do some more operations... then maybe I can get paid back when we find the sponsors." I explained to her that that is a risk and that we may never find sponsors... but she pointed out that with out the operation, these kids are going to die, and if that meant that she could not go, she could live with that, but she was not prepared to live with the fact that those kids died and she did nothing...
It's easy to say to her OK, but I know for a fact that we could likely find more sponsors if it was her standing in the photo holding a dying baby, so in the long run it would be better if she went, but for now I guess, "This one is your call Emma, and when the time is right for you to go, we will trust that some way, some how it happen.....I am proud of you "
