Day #161: Kameelputs, SA: All I Can Do is Hang On

Thank you, Jesus, for my survival. This is the first night slept alone in a room for over three weeks. My heart hurts. I need to clean this dusty room, talk to Dale Alan, and dream sweet. Wish I could save people. Wish I knew the answers. Wish I knew what to do when. I've been pulled in so many directions for nearly a month straight!

"I remember thinking..
Sometimes we walk..
Sometimes we run away." -Dave Matthews Band

To quickly sum up the month away from here, my grandfather died after a long fight against cancer, my dad and Dale had birthdays (a day apart), and my best friend from college, Katrina, got married. I am missing everything! Traleathea had a breakdown in Durban, where we vacationed, and I feel like I'm barely hanging on.
