Evening came, and it was time to say goodbye. I went back to the orphanage for the show. The girl I am sponsoring and other girls performed in the show tonight, and I told them I would come watch. I'm glad we did! They kept asking when we would be there again. Some didn't care that we wouldn't be back. But, others get attached. It's so sad, because these children have people come and go from their lives, but not very many people stay. Because of that, either they get attached to you reallly quickly, or they don't get attached at all. I wish I could provide some stability for them, or someone they could learn how to love and trust that they would always be there. But, I can't. I come and I go, just like everyone else! We had fun playing with the kids far too long after the show. Then, they all walked us out to our tuk tuk and were hanging on the tuk tuk, "Bye teacher! Thank you for teaching us!" It was hard not to cry! I told them I would send pictures, and then we drove away.
