Just had a realization today as I was getting off a bus... My first successfully navigated trip with all three. A Hindu woman helped A off the bus. Before we got off the bus a Chinese woman played with ME and a Malay man steadied G. I realized that if it were not for A's broken foot I would not be so in need of other's help. Countless people in the city have carried A up stairs, carried the stroller, opened doors, given me the thumbs up, and many other acts of kindness.
In the past few days I have seen so much humanity. The people of Singapore have a spirit of service and kindness. Alice's broken leg has helped magnify that spirit and given me an opportunity to witness the humanity of the people here in a way that I don't think I would if I looked a little less of a spectacle!
That really touches me, Jonette. Thinking of you all, dear! xoxo
