I used the Google site translator because I don’t speak French.  I am thankful to have met you, and you showed up in Macon at a time I didn’t think anyone cared about my story.

I have done a lot of crying on this journey, and I long for the day when it’s over.  Running into someone like you brought me some joy.  You were a kind person to a stranger.

I left Macon.  The sadness there was too much, and the battle was too tough.  I had to leave to find a place to live and find work.  I’m still trying to fight the battle.  I live in Tennessee now.

Maybe some day I can open a shop here like Joshua Cup.  I miss that place the most.

Thank you for telling my story.  You said so much in just four minutes, and you touched my life.  Remember what I said when you were saying goodbye?  I said “Don’t forget me.”  I see that you haven’t.  I won’t forget you either.

I consider you a friend, and I hope you return to the United States some day.
