Adolfo has passed

It is a sad day for us here. Tata Adolfo who was very precious to me has now passed away. He died early this morning. I am sad but happy. I am so happy he no longer has to shiver in the cold nights and endure the pain that he had. I am sad because now sweet Mada is now alone to endure all life's trials by herself. She is a rock. She has cried but not like many here do. She just cried a few silent tears and said, " All he wanted was for his children to come and visit him." Yesterday when he was sitting out in the sun, trying to warm up, he saw a plane and said he hoped some of his kids were on it. He has 7 children and only about 3 of them came to see him regularly. Anyway, please pray for his family as they are all mourning the loss of their father, grandfather and so on. The next 9 days will be somewhat sad around here. They mourn for 9 days. 

Our internet has been horrible here and some days we have none. This is the first time we have had it in awhile. So, I will try to post a picture I took of the Mada and Adolfo two days ago. It is priceless. Really priceless. Some days I am so thankful for the little things I am able to offer these people, like electric blankets and lasting memories. Until later.....
