Surprise Party

Surprise Party
Originally uploaded by joywilson.

Actually, I found out about it ahead of time. Last night they had a "come back soon" party at my friend Paulinho's house. I felt so honored looking around at so many people...new members of my extended family...people who I will cherish and remember for the rest of my life. The Gales were there, the whole Collins family, a lot of my friends from the Jovens group, some of my students, some people who work at the church...I feel so completely blessed!

I wish I could talk more, but I was supposed to have left 2 minutes ago. Until later!
Hugs, Joy
