Escorting Natalia

What a wonderfully-fun day it was!! -- Terri

A six month stay with the Gage family was all Natalia needed to speak fluent english and share with me the wonderful world she lived in during her

treatment while here in the U.S.  

Natalia received orthopedic medical treatment on both of her legs...and the cast-color-of-choice....bright neon pink!  This pink princess quickly got out her journal album once we settled into our seats on the airplane, and proudly described who each person was in  her loving host family...and all of the fun friends she made along the way while in St. Louis.  

She even talked secretly of the 'special friend' she made in her kindergarten class (I won't

say his name)...as she made me promise not to tell!

Natalia is a 5 year old little girl with a great big heart...helping me build a lego

tower (as she put it!) during our stay in the Miami airport, and eagerly sharing

her ice-cream bites and M&M's. 

She loves to listen to her music....and happily sings along to her songs (with headset on and everything!)...not even noticing who may

be listening to her  sweet performance....dancing and spinning as she goes!

My day with Natalia during her journey home to her family in Santo Domingo was

such a precious gift from God.  He gave me a wonderful glimpse of a sweet and brave

little girl...His little girl...full of love and laughter for herself, her family in St. Louis,

and the family she so eagerly couldn't wait to be reunited with.....'My mommy'  she said

'is so very pretty!' 

Natalia joyfully went from her journey in St. Louis to her loving family

in Santo Domingo who awaited her arrival....and called everyone 'friends' along the way.

So very precious she is!
