I recently had the opportunity to go back and see my Guatemalan family, where I lived for a year, It was wonderful and felt a lot like home. The girls, now about 10 years old came running up to me with flowers. I used to go up in the mountains and pick flowers and bring them back. The family had never seen anything like that before. But they picked me a bouquet. remembering. They came around and shouted Hermana Raquel. Of course there are those that are too shy to see me, one of my brothers is too shy to talk to me. He is in those teenage years currently :) It was a very content feeling to be back.
