Tears

I sense a theme of crying here, but it can’t be helped, the natural result of heart strings being tugged. Last night when I was watching some of the girls rehearsing a karate demo (let me just say this demo has been being rehearsed for weeks – I was really just watching), they wanted me to help with their self defense section. As I watched, one of the girls, Shavana, came over to me and said, “Sister, you teach me this?” and then proceeded to show me a wrist grab escape, not part of the demo, but just to show me she remembered. Something I had taught her from 18 months ago. I mean, my jaw just dropped. This is why I came. This is why I’m doing this.

Sister, you keep on showing them. Sniffle, sniffle.
Miss you, Happy Easter.

That is amazing, Belle! I’m glad you made such an impact last time, and it is wonderful that you get to see (and train!) them again!
Good luck, and I can’t wait to hear more about your adventures!

You’d have to be pretty ‘tough-hearted’ to not have your chest tighten a little over the wrist grab defence story. Mail you a hug…MUAH!
