Things have been rough. There is no doubt.
But at what point do we give up.
I have been faced with the question every minute for the last few days.
I have moments where I just want to give up .Its hard, its frustrating. But so many years ago, dozens of crunchy leaf falls ago, I was told usually doing the right thing is the hardest. Chen is coming down to the wire. His English is not as good as we had first hoped, and he is falling behind. I have worked endlessly every night and when I tire or become frustrated, Julius or Alex have jumped in to continue the lessons.
We have only a few short weeks left to make this work or he will be returned to China.
So now I take a breath and return to our studies and in my heart know that it is hard for me but harder for Chen.Last night he looked at me with tear streaked cheeks and red eyes and said I have made a mistake. Can we fix this.I am not sure, but what I do know as I write this is I wont give up trying. As long as Chen tries I will.
