The sounds and sights of India never leave you, even after your return home....she invades your dreams and your waking hours also....she refuses to let you go, and raises her head just when you thought it was safe to......ah well, you know the story, but India IS one of those places that doesn't let you forget her.  It's when you are seated on the plane, waiting to take-off on your journey home that the devastation hits hardest.  You remember the little children that touched your life during the weeks that you spent there and suddenly you know how blessed you are in that you can leave it all behind you, you can escape back home....do you feel the small faces gazing upward as you climb into the clouds......would your tears fall as mine did knowing what I left behind? No doubt they would. This is why we support the Mercy Home, this is why we ask you not to forget these children. Please....
