When I learned that J went AWOL (Absent Without Leave permission) on Friday evening, the tune of Edelweiss started to play inside me. "Edelweiss, Edelweiss...". Somehow, this melody comforted me immensely.
All the children that I've met in the CASA project are little brave Edelweiss kids. They were born in the unimaginable harsh enviroment but still do their best to bloom and grow in their own unique way.
I hope that J will return safely tonight.
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
May you be happy forever
