“They are the most wonderful kids I have met in my life”
Words truly cannot fully describe how amazing this trip was. I am truly sad that it is time to go home already. I think it’s even more than a Journey for a Lifetime. In my mind in the past ten days I learned more than a lot of people would in a lifetime. It has been the most amazing experience I have ever encountered. You learn so much from the kids and different history from the museum and bunkers. Most people would say that they would enjoy the history more including me but it is not true. You learn and appreciate life so much more with the kids. I cannot believe the impact they have had on me. It makes me so sad and happy and mad all at once to think of them, but I am glad to have each one of these three emotions in my mind.
The kids that made the most impact on me were: Lukasz for always being so happy and sweet constantly even in his condition (he is happier than the healthiest man in the world); Paulina for her extreme beauty and smile just gives you so much love in your heart; Victoria from the cancer hospital for her amazing energy and love towards everyone; and last but not least - Piotr because he reminded me so so much of my best friend Sam, who died last year, and for the one hour I spent with Piotr I felt like I was back in Sam’s room.
This letter is bringing tears to my eyes, as it will every time I remember these memories. They will be tears of joy and tears of sadness; happiness because they are the most wonderful kids I have met in my life…. but sadness because I will never see their shining faces ever again.
