How does one really truly prepare themselves for something like this? To get your heart ready to face the things you are going to see, knowing that it will be full of heartbreak.
It's a hard thing to wrap your hand around. To come to understand something you haven't seen and have never experienced.
I worry sometimes, how this will affect my 'issues'; whether it will throw me back into a depression from the harsh realities that I've never known.
When we start actually training for the trip, I'm sure I'll start to feel more. My heart will start to adjust with the reality of the situation. But right now, when it's just the fund raising and the meetings, it feels distant. It feels like we're not really a part of it.
That will all change, I know it will. I just hope I'll be ready when it comes.
