After 25 hours of traveling I arrived safely in Addis Ababa. I was met at the airport by my Ethiopian sons. It was a great reunion with them. Hana had a room ready for me in their two room dwelling. She had a bed with clean sheets and blanket all ready for my comfort. Melaku, Misgana and Hana all slept in the main room on the floor. I do not deserve such treatment. I was ready and willing to sleep on the floor with a blanket but Hana would not allow it.
We stayed up late talking even though we kept saying we needed to get our sleep. Melaku has three exams today and then he is finished for the summer. Misgana and I are shopping for food for the next few days.
It is a blessing to be back in Ethiopia. My only bad experience was the loss of my phone in Germany. It is only a phone and it can be replaced. The lives here are so much more valuable than a cell phone.
