Loss for Words
You will teach them to fly,
But they will not fly your flight.You will teach them to dream,
But they will not dream your dream.You will teach them to live,
But they will not live your life.Never the less, in every flight,
in every life, in every dream,
the print of the way you
taught them will remain~Mother Theresa

I thought it was a special thing that some friends were doing because of their family and that we were just inviting ourselves in. Turns out, it wasn’t that at all.

Of course, we weren’t certified SCUBA divers, so we could only help on land, but we jumped in no matter what and helped when/where we could. The next week we were signed up for classes. 2 classroom classes, 2 pool classes, and 2 days in the lake and we were officially certified SCUBA divers. (more…)
