FINAL ENTRY - What have I learned?

I've had just over a week to think over my trip and experience some of the interest upon my return, so I thought it was time to tie a nice little bow onto things. I wish I could say I had come away from my trip with some new outlook on life, some new power to make everything right. It is obvious to me that isn't the case.

But I have come away with the understanding that not everyone lives like us, and that doesn't make the world a scary place. It makes it different, but nothing that we need to be scared of.

As you can imagine, a lot of people have asked me about my trip after returning, and a lot of people have asked about pictures. Some of you have seen them, so of you still will I'm sure. But this interested has made it clear to me this trip was about me, for me. It wasn't to come back with a million pictures to brag about to everyone. I'm happy to tell my story, but the impact of the story was for me and I have no doubt this has come across in some of my picture "sessions". I appreciate everyone's interest.

Spencer, it was nothing short of life changing to see you again. In the short time of a week and a half, you changed so much. You learned about snow (or "noe" as you like to call it), and you can say ice cream. You are a wonderful, wonderful kid and I wonder what I can do to screw up your life as little as possible. Trip or not, I promise to try and give you the life that you deserve.

Thank you to everyone for following, and I hope my next trip will be just as fulfilling.
