i was truely transformed by my trip home. i felt a renewed sense of purpose. to know that my family had maintained such a deep sense of love and faith that some how we would be re-united was a testament to true faith and the power of unwavering intention. i had a strong desire all my life to meet and know the family i knew i had. likewise my family in sierra leone never gave up on speaking my name and sending me the love and light that guided me safely to them. the remainder of my time remained varied; magical and at times practical. i was able to pay my respect and offer my prayers at my uncle soloman's grave. it is his wife anne and their daughter's yeniva and tiana that made this experience even more sentimental. our family's had been close friends for many years. after my father's death communication was lost for over 15 years.
in august of 2006 my mother went to california to visit friends and family because she currently lives in georgia. during my mother's brief stay her path crossed with anne who first recognized my mother!! the day my mother called me in japan to say "guess who i saw while in california..."
was the day my trip became a reality.
