Some days are quite exciting at Happy Life even though with a tinge of loss. Jayson joined his mum and dad some two weeks ago, while Benson left us on Tuesday into the loving arms of his now 'mum and dad'. The parents came to take him home accompanied by two relatives and their pastor's wife. In Africa a baby is usually received by several people, mostly close kin or a trusted friend. I felt like a midwife handing over a new born baby to his welcoming relatives. Benson clung to his mother's shoulders like he had always belonged there. This world still has wonderful people and good things do happen still even in the face of rejection and abandonment. Mum Teresa of Adonai House in Juja had to hold back tears as she watched one of her sons go; but she had a great smile too... because, for us at Happy Life, letting go of these children is part of our mission and vision. I thank you Lord for Jayson, Benson, and for those wonderful families that they now belong to.
