Reunions are Bittersweet

To anyone who is considering joining me in June, here is what’s worst about Ghana. Coming home. Because once you realize that there are people in the world with such a wealth of love, you wonder how we get by with so little. So. Little.

Perhaps you wonder how they get by with so little money but they sure as hell do it. They rely on the benevolence of others, and their god. And they are rewarded. Some nights I wonder if in the end, they're the ones who have it right.

Some nights, like tonight, I know they do.

And that's all I have to offer tonight.

Darned right they do. Given, I don't know them as well as you, but from what you say I agree.
