Here's the Scoop

So after some of my last entries, a lot of people have been wondering what has been going on with Amelia. Well… here’s the scoop people…absolutely NOTHING. I know that’s probably not the dramatic or interesting story that you were looking for, but that’s the reality of it. I think my entry about Amelia was misinterpreted. Don’t get me wrong, I meant every word of it, and I think the world of her…BUT, that’s the way I would write about any one of the people that I love and care about. I wrote that entry because I believe that she has an amazing story to tell and I wanted to share that with you. I could have probably written similar entries for each and every one of the volunteers here in Namibia… or each and every one of you back in the states for that matter.

We each have lives and stories so unique and varied, each one precious and wonderful in its own way. Amelia’s story just struck me the most out of the group. I feel it is rare, and inspiring, and a powerful testament to selflessness… but no more so than others. She is a very special person, but the same is true for the rest of Group 29. I decided to pick one example because I didn’t want to write 22 entries, you probably didn’t want to read 22 entries, and the thought of writing 22 entries alone is tiring.

But please know this…every single person I’ve ever met, every person in my life right now…I have had similar thoughts about. What was said in that entry could easily be said about you. You may not have your own blog entry on this webpage, but in the vastness of my mind, written in secret, there is an entry with your name on it. It is formed with intangible thoughts, not words… and attached to those thoughts is a prayer of thanksgiving. For I am thankful beyond measure for every single person in my life. To me, each one of you is a priceless gift… whether or not it is stated plainly, I hope you know this.
