Getting close to lift-off. Leaving for Rwanda in a few hours. Anxious and nervous about going to Rwanda. Ready to go, just don’t know what to expect, even though many people have told me what to expect.
Re-flight routine this morning was like any other day at the Croasdale household. What you would expect for a couple married 22+ years with two teenagers:
- Sherri (my wife) made me sign a power of attorney “… just in case….” Yes Sherri, the insurance is paid up too.
- Ally (my 16 year old daughter) gave me a very long hug goodbye. She wanted to remind me that she is still my little girl even though yesterday she just announced that she has an upper classman as a boy-friend. Thanks Ally, that will make me sleep well at night.
- Brendan (19 year old son) managed a good bye from his man cave upstairs. But he has been doing his own charitable work since he got home from school.
- And to top it off, I broke my “indestructible suitcase” leaving the house.
Although I want to help out wherever I can on this trip, I know I will walk away with much more than this 50 year old can give. I hope to use my work experience to help the school financially and also to use my muscle (stop laughing Angela !!!) to do some physical labor. I plan to attend a few classes while I am there and to introduce Frisbee to the school (and Al Berg).
Thanks for reading my first blog ever.
More to come (with pictures) once we arrive. I promise there will be no “dying albatross” videos of any of us.
