Hey, Robbie.
Thanks for bringing us "here". We are missing you here. We all want you back here. I am so glad you are able to be "here", and there, and here all at the same time.
Be well,

Hi Robbie, Rumor had it on campus you had a good post, and you have. Very interesting, as I am imagining names and phases as I read through it. Thanks for all the thoughts. It will not be all that long before you are back here.

There's actually a lot to do in our own country instead of going abroad. Meals on Wheels always needs volunteers. Go and visit a nursing home or Senior Center and bring some flowers at lunchtime for the tables. You will be delighted when you see everyone's eyes light up as you walk through the door saying to you how lovely the flowers are! It truly makes your heart jump!

I think you nailed it.

I think you nailed it.

Thank you Tom for your kind words and for recognizing what a fabulous job Robbie and Jon are doing at The Global Child. We are all so proud of both of them and the commitment they have made to their students and the orginization. Thank you also for going all the way over there to see for yourself what life is like in Siem Reap! Amy

The anti-anxiety medicine xanax is wholly capable of facilitating your war against anxiety as it is the most widely recognized medication to treat anxiety disorders, especially generalized anxiety disorders and altogether Xanax can treat a whole lot of anxieties related to panic disorders and depression. Before you move on to administer Xanax and treat your anxiety, get hold of Xanax tidbits from the site http://www.pill-care.com

Rob,you warned the reader to "not give up" in the beginning of this but I encourage you also to not give up. In a little while, you will become desensitized to your surroundings and then you can progress with your objective. The third world is hard to digest in the beginning.

I feel like I know Sophal myself! I am learning so much from your experiences, really, keep writing. They are all really touching words.

Is it ok if I describe this post as "epic" and encourage people to read it? You nailed Cambodia to the wall.

Wow - poetic, tragic, beatiful, disturbing and poignant. You are a gifted writer, I was right there with you. Almost cried.

So please listen to the message that I say, Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend... (has a friend, has a friend, has a friend....)

I miss you like %&^$*#@ crazy dude, Sophal sounds like the man. I love reading your descriptions, I feel like I know this kid and would be just as attached if not more that you are haha. I'm sending you a new dope Biz song I got recently too - please let me know how you and the kids like it ahaha. And please NEVER POST SHOTS OF YOU DANCING, the world doesn't need to see that haha.

Robbie, awesome. Thought I'd let you know how much I'm enjoying reading your writing. Keep doing what you're doing.

Robbie,

Your words are showing me that your mind was not affected by your illness. I am glad you are feeling better..And I guess that old adage 'if you have your health you have everything' applies. As your aunt said, your pictures are beautiful.

I agree with Sandy - a wonderful description of Sophal complete with photos that really capture the personality you describe. What a courageous, caring, fun loving little boy! You are lucky to have him as your student and friend. xxoo mom

2008-09-08T21:33:00.000+07:00

What a blessing to address your mortality at a young age. Most people think they are "Masters of the Universe" into their 30's and sometimes, even their 40's. It sounds like you will be more careful and I am glad you are feeling better. Arlene

2008-09-08T13:03:00.000+07:00

Thank you! Its daunting, trying to describe the nature of these children in mere words. They've all extremely unique, and fiercely deny any form of encapsulation.

2008-09-08T12:50:00.000+07:00

Robert, thanks for the comment, yea it was quite a tumultuous journey. I'm glad to have it behind me, but I promised myself not to forget the important lessons learned.

Arlene and Dad, I'm cured now, was writing one part of the story at a time because it was a lot to bite off at once. I'm fine now, read the most recent posts and you'll find it was either dysentery or dengue, not sure yet. I was taking anti-malarial prophylaxis, however the side effects were far too intense to justify the benefits.

Heather, thanks for the positive wishes and comments on the photography and writing, I greatly appreciate them. I didn't want to make anyone sick and anxious, just trying my best to capture the moment so to speak =)

2008-09-08T09:04:00.000+07:00

Robbie,
This is a wonderful description of Sophal! I hope he does not go the way of Samnang, the boy Jon posted about. It's great to put your two blogs together to get a more complete picture. Keep writing and enjoy Cambodia.

Robbie, hope you are well on your way to feeling better. Not only are your photos stunning, your writting is captivating. You had me sick and anxious while reading your whole post. Luv you, Aunt Heather...Idaho
