If you have been keeping up with us for a while, you know that playground updates are typically about kids as the parents are usually inside and I am the “auntie” outside watching everyone.
Well, yesterday one of the Rohingya moms came out for some sunshine with her 3 month old son. Raven and I went over to see the baby and say hi to mom.
Raven went back to playing, but I stayed and was pleasantly surprised to have a long, friendly talk with the mom. She is around my age and has 6 kids, including a daughter who’s Raven’s age.
We talked about life, kids, marriage, family ties that I didn’t know about though I know the familes, etc. It seemed to be of comfort to her that I recalled her mother and other family members who have passed away or moved out of state.
I am grateful to God for allowing us to learn more about each other and for allowing me the opportunity to connect with her more deeply.
