Some of you may be wondering why I haven't been posting the past few days. The reason is that our trip ended unexpectedly due to a family emergency back home. We got a phone call on Friday night telling us that my grandmother had suffered a stroke and was in critical condition. We immediately packed our bags and got on the first available flight back to Texas.
My grandmother made it through surgery, but she is still in a very fragile state. We are so grateful that she is doing as well as she is, and we are beyond blessed to have each other. My parents, sisters, aunt, uncle, cousins and I have been the image of unity and support: we are all committed to my grandmother's recovery and giving her as much love possible.
Concerning my upcoming study abroad program in Leeds, I will be returning to England on Friday to participate in it. Though it will be very difficult to leave my family at such a hard time, everyone is in agreement that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and that my grandmother would be furious if she found out I didn't go. I will also start posting again once my program starts.
So please keep my grandmother and our family in your thoughts and prayers: God is with us and are faithful knowing He will get us through this difficult time.
