Paka Paka Russia, until we meet again.
Yes one day I hope to return to Russia with my family. To show them the beautiful city their sister was born in. To let Jaymi visit those that loved and cared for her best they could while she was here. I hope that when we do, the attitude towards people with special needs has softened and there will be a greater understanding of their value and worth. I know its not just in Russia that these attitudes exist, there are many people here in the United States that say and do hurtful things towards people with disabilities. I pray that those of us with children, family members and friends with special needs will continue to educate the world about the love we have for them and their contribution to this world.
This afternoon Becky and I ventured out to Red Square with our kids. We were able to go with a reporter from Times Magazine. He was so nice to us and brought the kids gifts, got us a cab to and back, and just visited with us about our experience. He was born in Russia and his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a child. It was so interesting to hear his experience and perspective. The kids loved seeing the sights on Red Square, it was a great way to spend the last day in Russia. It was exhausting keeping up with them, but worth it.
