Roxy_1"How can I go on?? Everywhere I look I see their little faces, with that look in their eyes that are just begging to be held, played with and understood. As I sit here in the comfort of my home, they are suffering. While I eat muffins, soup, pasta, they may only eat bread. How can I go on when I've left my heart back in Moldova. Maybe this would have been easier if I could have been able to say goodbye to my girls at Azimut, no not goodbye but until next time.

I remember the first time I saw Dania. She was standing in the corner afraid of all the strangers and the commotion. I remember the look on her face when I asked her what her name was and if she wanted to play. I still see the way her face lit up with just the slightest encouragement. I remember her little sister who was upset because she never got any sunglasses as a prize and when she did, they joy it brought her. I remember Sergiu, who was so quite at the beginning, now playing with the other boys unafraid. Each of these individuals have a special place in my heart and I wish I was there with them, to encourage and to show them that there is someone that cares and loves them.

I remember as the girls were drawing with chalk, what Dania wrote..She wrote: Roxi te iubesc....and this was the same little girl that was so shy and afraid of the foreigners that now she had the courage to declare that to the world??

I stand amazed at how God used all of us in that short time to touch those precious life's. I'm not the same, nor do I want to be. Those kids taught me so much that I cant even put into words. I miss my amazing team in Soroca so much. In that short time that we had, we became a family. We cried together, we laughed together. I especially miss my Doro, who I didn't think much at first but after getting to know her, she is my twin from different parents. We were inseparable and she has a special place in my heart as My Best friend!!! I pray that the Lord will bring us all together again and that He will allow me to see my kids at Azimut and that He will allow me to serve Him there in Moldova for summers to come........
May He be Blessed!!!
