In my heart I journey south… way south. 10,000 miles, to a country with children I love. Over the years: 6 through Compassion International and countless others with Hope Unlimited.<\/p>\n

Beautifully tan and dark headed, their eyes look at me in photos I’ve saved. I call out their names in prayer, writing letters. Hoping some day to hug them, kiss their cheeks, hear their voices.<\/p>\n

Why Brazil?<\/p>\n

My husband started this 31 years ago. He went there in college to study and to learn. He taught me about the people and culture. I fell in love also. We have waited a long time to visit. In the interim I read and imagine, try to learn the language.<\/p>\n

Someday<\/em> – what will it be like? Will I find more similarities than differences?<\/p>\n

Traveling seems to make the world smaller. Unique but not actually foreign<\/span>. It’s been amazing to enter other cultures and experience life. Individuals become real…with stories. They are now forever tethered to my heart.❤️<\/p>\n

The irony of my former ballet company setting up a base there is almost too much. After the travel ban, Brazil? I pray so…<\/p>\n
