I am here. Its been four days and Im not sure now how Ill be able to convey this journey once I get home. I cant find the apostrophe on the keyboard, so maybe I cant convey it here either. All I know is that two days ago I helped two women bring their babies into the world, and today I am helping two women let go as their babies die. That seems like a lot to try to hold in for a month before I can let it all spill out when Im home. So here it is: an attempt to chronicle, with a foreign keyboard and an unreliable internet connection, the intensity of the work I am doing here now. Over the next few days I hope to lay it out for you so you can get a picture of what it is like here, and I can create a narrative about what I witness... and maybe Ill find the apostrophe on the way.
Malekum salaam (unto you peace),
