Last Day 2

Chichicastenango was amazing and I'm so glad we went! I think if I'd stayed in Antigua today, I would have spent the day wandering sadly from corner to corner, remembering. Instead, I got to spend the day with my family and dearest friend Melissa enjoying the beautiful countryside and the energy of the market in Chichi.

---I so apologize, but Blogger is giving me error after error message when I try to upload photos. Maybe this weekend.---

And can I just say, Melissa, that I love you so much! You are beautiful and strong and it is YOUR TURN! Our God is faithful and He WILL bring you home. Keep believing. And when you're exhausted from hanging on, go ahead and let go. We are all believing and hoping and praying and expecting for you. We will hold you up when you need to rest. And you're right, my dear, dear friend- this is a lifetime friendship and no distance will diminish it. I love you.

You better get here soon. Can you believe it!!!! USA in less than 12 hours! We get to see you in 18hours!!!! OMG!

We are a bit excited here in NC. We cannot wait to see you. I think the first thing we'll do is celebrate at a Mexican/Honduran restaurant!

j.k.

As per request, we'll probably hit the first Cracker Barrell we see. Just for you old friend.

Enjoy everything about tomorrow. Please remember that you will get here, no matter what else the universe has to throw at you tomorrow (delays, customs, delays, immigration, delays, a plane that smells like Pollo Compero, and rude people). You are coming back to the States.

Congratulations Sharon & Greg.

May y'all travel well, buenos suerte, buon voyaje, tenen un buen viaje, ¡QuĂ© le vayan bien!, or more correctly, esperan que les vaya bien el viaje.

Alessandro, Brian, Cheryl, Nicolas, Cathy & Cosimo (Grandparents Di) DiBartolo

Melissa, I agree with EVERYTHING Sharon said. I don't know you personally but I feel like I know from all my mom and Katie have told me and from reading your blog. Over the last 3 months or so we have had "Pray for Sharon and Bella" signs in various places in our house...I think as of tomorrow those signs will say "Pray for Melissa and Madison"!!!

Sharon, We are so happy for you and your family. We love you guys and can't wait to hear that you have made it safely home.

Boo-hooing...not sure if is your sweet message, you telling me to let go, because you will hang on for me, thinking of Bella on a plane to the states at this very moment or that you and your husband and daughters will be eating at Cracker Barrel "to-flippin'-night" with your dear friends!!!! This is YOUR VICTORY MARCH, enjoy every second...your reward is GREAT and the battle won...He is the VICTOR and I love you and am so happy for you, I can't stand it!
Kisses to Bella and a hug for everyone else!!
Your family in Guatie!

Sharon,
wishing you happy travels home.
Peace and safety be with you and your family. May you ride on God's Wings. Have fun with the Whole DiBartolo Family! :)

It finally arrived and I have peace knowing you are coming home. I watch your friend's blog, Melissa. And I pray for her and her daughter, to get their turn. Though, with all the Work of God, not sure they will let her go easy.

Prayers and Peace,
The Siebers,
Jennifer, Rob and Sophia

All the work of God, Melissa is completing...is what I meant. She seems to be an angel. She gives great joy to the children who need her in Guatemala.

Amy said...

Yes, now we can change our focus to Melissa! But we need to know how it went! Are you home?
