A Heavy Heart

This time last year I was just finishing up work and frantically doing the last minute packing to prepare the family for an exciting 10 weeks living in Cambodia.  Tonight my heart aches for these beautiful people.  They are amazing, strong, proud and resilient....but how much must they take?  To see so many tragically taken away, particularly the youth,  the young kids out there who are trying to rebuild a somewhat tattered country, leaves me feeling sick.  It is nearly impossible to look at this photo.  May Buddha hold you close.
