We spent the day at "Jacob's Ladder" another mentally/physically challenged orphanage.
I met this young lady named Sandy. Sandy's mother shipped her over to the orphanage from Kingston and has never visited her, ever! She held my hand almost the entire time we were there.
When I left Sandy I told her I was coming back to see her soon. She said, "when?" I told her in 3 or 4 months. She didn't say a word and did not look at me. I asked her if that was soon enough and she said, "no". Then I told her I would be back sooner and then she put her arms around my neck and hugged me. I kissed her on the cheek and said good-bye.
