Your writing is full of genuine emotion in your recollection of these very touching encounters. You connect with people and they immediately feel your understanding. They are beautiful people with simpler lives while enduring difficulties and struggles. Thanks for sharing.
This is a truly moving post...and one which generates mental images for me too...
Many of my patients share similar stories of both farm and hospitality work overseas. My seniors talk about their time in the UK, (The Windrush generation) and I am privileged to see the homes built by that hard work in the bitter cold, and the pensions it secured for some that allow them to pay for medication and a doctor to make a home visit.
Thank you for highlighting the human beings that help to make the so called first world be what it is for the people who enjoy the benefits.
This post is just the best this morning Janaki. What an experience for you to be on that particular flight! A privilege to hear the story. With all the cruel and alarming deportations happening and pending in the US right now, your timing is a grace note. How connected we all are. Thank you!
