The Paul family has recently suffered two losses, and today we are remembering Aunt Penny and Grandma Jean. Penny passed away a few weeks back, followed not long after by her mother. Brad is sad, to say the least, and we are both feeling the distance from our families, really wishing we could be HOME.
So lately the mood at Monsoon Manor (my petname for the house) has been glum. We are, as always, grateful to have each other, but also, again, as always, missing our family and friends back home.
India isn't making a hard day any easier. I was covered in sweat before I even left the house this morning. It was 90 degrees at 8 am. Since it's Wednesday I got a nice layer of dust to coat the layer of sweat on the rickshaw ride to work.
I am escaping the heat of Chennai for the heat of Bombay this weekend. Taking the swimmers to their big tournament. So Brad will be on his own. Send him some love if you can!
And lots of love to the Paul family. We wish we could be with you today.
