Christmas blessings

I just wrote a whole essay on my feelings about Christmas and decided against posting it.

 

I hope you all had a GREAT Christmas…

 

Much love from sea

Happy Birthday!

Today is my dad's birthday. The whole day this has been on my mind. I could not stop thinking about it. So after lunch I went up to get a phone card so I could phone him. Now from experience I can tell you that this was not going to be pleasant. Every year since I joined the Doulos I phoned him. Well I tried to phone him. He either switched off his phone or he didn't answer. When he did it was so awkward that I wished I did not phone. This year was no different. I paid 10 USD which is about the equivalent of R80. I phoned and the kind lady said that "The number that you have dialled is not available - please try again later". I listened and tried again later. After the second attempt I texted/smsed my mother to hear what my dad's number is. Her response: He changed it and he refuses to give it to us. Me being the emotional person that I am, needs to get this out...

 

Dear Dad, you where not available. I miss you. With all the anger and hurt inside I don't particularly like you at the moment but I still love you. I hope you have a great birthday. May God get His hands on you in this year. Much love. xxx

Dearest Friends,

 

I realise that I have been out of contact for some time now. I recently found a friend's email where she explained how to email directly to the blog. Since I spend about 90% of my day answering emails this is something I think I can do. Who has the patience to wait for this super slow internet to load a single page?

 

So here you go...some pictures of my time in Malta. Some of my dearest Doulos friends came to visit. We did not have that much time together because I was caught up at work. *Sadness*
But I did manage to take a day off close to the end and visit 'fontanelli's'. (The pizza picture)

 

Well I hope this works!

More pictures are coming!
