This is just a quick update as I am going to the airport in a few minutes to meet James and I don't know when I will have the next opportunity to go on the internet.
I could not write anything yesterday because I couldn't put what I felt into words and I am not sure that I can even this morning.Yesterday was full of tears ,laughter ,hugs and cake!
There is so much that I could write but today I don't have the time.Haribol Ji said to me this morning that I am so positive about life.
Many years ago when I was very depressed my therapist told me to try and think of one positive every morning and write it down and the same in the evening.Whether it was the sun shining on a dew drop or a smile from Naomi and Ruth.It is something I have done every day since and now it is a habit and if you do it for long enough you begin to see more positives than negatives and then the negatives take a back seat and you see even more positives.There is so much that is positive about OCCED and what they have achieved and yesterday they gave me a certificate as OCCED Goodwill Ambassador for the UK.I was very honoured and I can't put into words what it meant.It does however mean that I have a responsibity to them and I will have to come back hopefully yearly.Even if I hadn't been given it I would still come back.I want to see all the children grow up and as hard as a decision it was to decide which child James and I have taken on financial responsibity for Seina.It means that we will fund her through all her education and her time at OCCED.It also means that £50 a year will go into a savings account for her so that when she leaves OCCED she will have some money behind her.At the moment she is 5 so for her it will be quite a substantial amount.It is only costing us £1 a day so if any of you feel like supporting a child just let me know and I will arrange it with OCCED.It really is such a worthwhile cause.
I have to go now but thank you all for everything you have done and for helping to make all of this possible.
