On this holiday of thanks, I am grateful for good health--that I do not face the threat of polio everyday. I am thankful I slept on clean, soft sheets last night and awoke to a warm breakfast--I do not sleep nightly on a train station platform or scrounge food for my family.
Although I'm sad today that I was too sick to go to the women's shelter and had to return to the US early, I rejoice for the girls in the shelter whose family members were located this week and who will be reunited after treatment. And I'm sincerely grateful to be home with my husband and daughters, who have never known slavery.
Happy Thanksgiving!
