Had I understood the choices at hand, I may not have chosen to have these beautiful children when there is so much exciting work to be done in the world. The days I have time to pursue my other interests are the same days that I feel okay about choosing also motherhood. Here, we attempt to blog about our 5-year-old's questions AND our own questions/ideas around issues that we need to be involved in to complement our parenting.

When Gabriela came to join our family, we gave out (with your help) trees in the community. Our neighbour, Ambroise, planted his trees behind his father's house. When I went to visit the trees a year later, I met the father, Bos Jean. Meeting him, I remember thinking "that guy isn't going to be around much longer!". Here he is 5 years later still walking, talking and reflecting on his own. Bos Jean told us he was born in 1911...we fell over! He is 101 and not falling over. A part of the land where (Gabriela's) trees are planted is now for sale. It's beautiful Artibonite land! I so want it.
