Sunday August 23rd~

Going home' is a journey to
 the heart of who we are, a place 
where we can be ourselves...
 
It is getting closer and closer to
 going home.  At the same time 
I have had an amazing time with
 the girls and with everyone.
  Still lots more to come. 



Vanessa has been amazing. 
 She spoke with me in English 
to my heart's content.  The little
 one, Amelia also surprised me in 
that she took to me withing seconds. 
 No hesitation. I love them so much. 


 Aleah our eldest in in those 
teenager years.  Being a teenager
 is different for everyone.  She was 
more reserved with us.  Very quiet, 
but what ever I was able to get out 
of her I cherish with all my heart. 


The girls together with everyone
 else has made this summer unforgettable.
  That being said, I still enjoy having 
some alone time with Arvid. 


 Yesterday evening we were at 
a concert in Drammen.  We saw
 dance with a Stranger. Had a very
 good time and the weather was 
so much better than expected.


We have not had much time on
 our own this summer, but that is the
 whole purpose of coming to Norway.  
It's to see and be with family, even 
so we do like and enjoy having
 a little time alone. I may need
 to come for a longer time 


Today we get to spend the day
 alone doing something relaxing.
  Alone time is when I distance myself
 from the voices of the world so I 
can hear my own. It's necessary.
Alone time is also when I miss
 my Sniff most. It's now time 
for us to go home.  



Where we love is home 
 home that our feet may leave,
 but not our hearts...
