Fast-forwarding through life

<p><em>Continuing my series on our time working in an orphanage in Bangkok&hellip;As empty nesters, my husband, Michael, and I volunteered at the Mercy Center with Father Joe, an American priest, for many years.</em></p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/p/as-i-go-i-am-wearing-you-cb4193af27c5" rel="noopener"><strong>As I go, I am wearing you</strong></a></p> <p>Our days fly by here. And every day brings miracles and sorrows; a mix-up of emotions that make the days dissolve one into the other in rapid succession, like fast-forwarding a movie on your screen.
