This morning I am going to celebrate 20 women who have come from Taiwan, China, and Japan to our small city. Their husband’s were transferred here and they have taken on a new homeland in their adulthood. These particular twenty have just completed a year long ESL class offered by folks in our church. I am simply the cheerleader section. I always wanted to ba a cheerleader and today is my chance….I wonder if they’ll mind pom poms and a few enthusiastic cartwheels!
I thought life was hard when Dh was transferred 400 miles to Alabama…..as much as Arkansas is a different place, at least I didn’t have a completely foreign language to learn, completely new customs and foods to deal with….or new social customs to learn….well there is that whole ‘Bama vs Auburn thing to deal with….kinda like choosing to be a Hatfield or McCoy…..
So I will load up my little treats for the ladies, put on my best cheerleader clap and celebrate the bravery of women who faced the unknown and have done so brilliantly!
