you are needed caitlin..
think about it.
soo many people love you and need you in thier lives. think about every single kid that we both love so much from the daycare. i know, and you do too, that they are crushed when you can't come, or when you have to switch between centres. and all those beautiful children from romania. imagine what their lives had been like without you in them. Gheorghe needed you to help him get his start. without you he wouldn't have been able to come as far as he did, and today would probably be with the disbled children, suffering even more, falling away even faster.
even i need you. sometimes i just long to be at home, laughing my head off with you, longing to just spend some time with you. i don't even care what kind of time it is. we don't have to be having a huge 'heart to heart' or aynthing, but can be doing anything.. i need you to help me with things... sewing, singing, keeping my feet on the ground. you do keep me grounded, and informed as to what i should be paying attention to in the world and what's going on around me.
and God needs you too! you touch so many peoples lives in ways that you have no idea. your strength, leadership and endurance through so many things shows people who and what you're living for. LLM probably would have fallen apart.. it practically did when you left. but quickly after your return, it became stronger once more. without you, and your faith, we wouldn't have been able to help so many in the ways that we did. i know that people sometime give you all the praises for things like that, but i love that you love God so much, and don't forget to give Him the credit that He deserves. He needs you to pass on His messages to the people.
i love you catilin.. and trust me, even if i cant name every way that you are needed in this world, please know that you really are..
i need you.
love reva

Caitlin;
You are so very needed.
I haven't seen you for like 4 years, but even I need you. I need to know there are wonderful, dedicated, unbelievably sweet people in the world. You have always amazed me, and you continue to. The world could not be the same without you.
from,
Adam
