HEARTBREAKING DECISION!!!



AFTER MUCH THOUGHT AND PRAYER I MADE A VERY HEARTBREAKING DECISION. I AM LEAVING GUATEMALA AND MAYA ONE MORE TIME. HER FOSTER FAMILY PICKED HER UP AT SIX LAST NIGHT. SHE WAS CRYING AND REACHING FOR ME WHEN SHE LEFT. I ALMOST LOST IT!! THE FOSTER FAMILY WAS SO SWEET. THEY BROUGHT ME THE OUTFIT AND BLANKET THAT MAYA WORE HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL. I AM LEAVING THIS MORNING BUT MY HEART IS STAYING HERE.

    Gin..

    After your call last night, I sat there, holding Angelena and cried for you... I know I have told you to be strong, and things always work out... But there are times when you feel like you are going to crash and burn... I want you to know, I will be here for you, and if you can call anytime, day or night... This is completely heart breaking, and I think you are a VERY STRONG AND WISE WOMAN, and nothing is going to stop you now. So, HURRY UP and get what you have to do done, and get your Bootty back down to GUAT!

    HUGS
    LOVE TO YOU AN MAYA

    Ellie & Angelena
