Missing the Philippines

This picture was after 47 hours of straight travel. I immediately went in the house and dropped my bag inside then came out and found this little girl. I couldn't put my contacts in, my hair was a mess, I had mud all over me, my feet and ankles were very swollen, and I was just flat out exhausted, but this little girl made me forget all that. Her joy in seeing me reciprocated with my joy from seeing her. Blessed.
