I am going home in two days. I will be with my wife and dogs on Saturday evening. I miss them so much it hurts. It has been a surreal experience the last few days here in Russia. I have been overwhelmed by kindness and goodwill from this city(Saratov) and this country. I will have lunch with my dear friends from the International office tomorrow, meet with the Director, finish cleaning and packing. The train for Moscow leaves Friday afternoon. I can hardly believe it will end. I have been changed in so many profound and positive ways. Saratov, Russia is not my real home but it will have a place in my soul for the remainder of my life.
