Alone with the past…

A young child of the household are Jill (from Memorial Lutheran Church) and I are staying is reading her homework by candlelight as the two of us are attempting to rest. Alone she is reading out loud about women, and their fight to live. Alone she is reading about the flight into Mexico to save their lives and how they arrived with nothing but their lives. Alone she is reading about the difficulties in Chiapas, Mexico and lack of education so that they could read or write. No opportunities beyond second grade. Alone reading a powerful and painful story.
