Back when I was about Aldrich's and Christine's age (which wasn't long ago), you can never let me miss my summer. Summer meant being with friends, frolicking under the sun and being able to stay in bed until the creases of the blanket are pressed to my cheeks.
Everyone knows that the decision to spend summer in a far away land, just like some of Therese's friends chiding her in her Facebook wall, to enjoy "her summer building houses,", wasn't an easy one. From close to 10, we are down to 4, including Norson. But, it's not really about the numbers. Lori said, "it's a personal experience". I believe it really is.We are actually more than 4, not counting the 20 or so youth from the Middle East who we will be merging with, but more like the rest of the GKYB family back here in Canada. We will be there not just for ourselves but for everyone. We will be there to hammer down nails the way Kyle would hammer, paint the houses in Jonah's favorite colors. We will be there to dance with the kids as graceful as Nika and Kristine. When we are around the GK villagers, we will be full of energy like Ricky, and sweet at the same time, like Angelique. We are representing GKYB, right?
We will be you when we are there.
(Blogger's Note: * - Jose paved the way, and was in Marinduque too, a couple of weeks ago and was able to share his wonderful experience via email. Have you read his experience?)
