When you call my name....

Being away from my Home's, the one in Lethbridge and from my second home, in Africa, makes me realize just how much I miss the little things! Don't get me wrong...being away from my family ~ my husband, my children and my grandchildren is very HARD! Saying goodbye to my kids in Africa is also very HARD! 

When I'm in Africa, I here 16 children's voices constantly calling:  

"Good Morning, Mama Linda"

"Mama Linda, please, help me with my homework" 

"Mama Linda, I love you to the Moon and back"

"Good Night, Mama Linda"

And then when I tuck them into bed and I go off to my bed, I lay there and I think about my family at home and I MISS the texts and the phone calls from my children:

"Hey Mom, what's up?"

"Love you, Mom"

"See you on the weekend, Mom"

"Good Night, Mom"

"Hi Nana"

"Whatcha doin Nana?"

Love you, Nana"

Now, I'm home, in Lethbridge, with my family but I so miss the little voices in Africa calling  "Mama Linda"!  It's much bigger than just words! It's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard! Paul Brandt says it best in one of his songs:

"When you Call my Name"

The way that it moves me
It's simply amazing
Yeah somehow it seems
Much bigger than words
When you call my name
Angels start singing
The most beautiful sound
That I've ever heard



THANK YOU, for calling my name!

Love from
'Mom'
'Nana'
'Mama Linda'
