i hate those days where everything goes smoothly until one phone call.

milagros got a call today saying that a pastor in samana died in a car accident today. i'd met him and his family once before. his son was one of my favorite kids the night we had a picnic on the beach. cute kid that followed me around the whole night, adrian. if you look at the samana pictures he's the kid running around in his underwear. so a young guy died today leaving a wife and three kids. and people who loved him. he helped milagros a lot at the clinic where she worked. it's a hard thing for her. she leaves tomorrow morning for samana...so i might be spending my first time "alone" here tomorrow night. alone is in quotes because with the number of people around here who know me, etc....i'm never really alone. but anyways, it's a sad day here. say a prayer for adrian and his family.
