Wonder & Joy

by Papa K on April 16, 2013

Yesterday was a hard day. A day where the place I’m from felt very far away, but even from here you could hear the sigh of sorrow and disbelief. I found myself watching this video of Maile and wishing we could all see the world with her wonder and joy.

It pains me beyond belief that there are children now that have already lost that wonder and joy. That fear much more than the cold water rushing up the sand.

Those are all the words I have for now – I imagine someday I’ll have to find some more to attempt to explain to Maile and Lauren. For now, Christine, Maile, Lauren and I are sending our love back east…
