Today, April 2nd. 2008, almost 5 months to the day, we finally made the decision to send our littlest one, Meyling, to Jinotepe, to join the other 5 young girls in our second home there.
It has been a joy to have been able to witness her amazing recovery since November 5th. 2007 when she was entrusted to our care by the Government Children´s Protection Agency “MIFAMILIA”.Despite her almost miraculous recovery in just a few days, and because of the need to be sure she was completely healthy we had her under close scrutiny and medical care until yesterday we were finally given the green light by the medical specialists who have been monitoring her.
All this time we have rejoiced and have been amazed by her outgoing spirit and joyful attitude towards everything she sees around her now! but she has to join the other children to grow as natural as it can be among children her age and not among the teenagers we have in our girls home in Las Palmas.
With sadness intermixed with Joy we let her go. Mama Mayra, her actual tutor mother will miss her a lot. But the Lord gave us for a time Mama Apolonia, (Mama Polonia) as Meyling calls her for a short time before she was send to take care of the younger girls in Jinotepe.
So, the change will not be as radical as we feared. We will surely miss her here in Las Palmas.
What a change since November! Blessed be the Lord who protects His children!
