Sometimes, it's hard for me to realize that this African-experience is real. Not to say that I'm going crazy (although sometimes I feel that is the case), but things are so different here. And then, something happens that pulls me back in.
For example, yesterday, Dawa took her first steps! It was so beautiful to see her up on her feet and walking 5 feet at-a-time! And I cheered for her, and I could tell that she knew I was proud of her and she just gave me the greatest smile. It was at this point that I was drawn back to reality. Even though I may feel that this is a dream, it's moments like these that remind me that life, my life, is happening here.
