Rest in peace Grandpa, I've always loved you so much. Now it's been almost 2 weeks since you left this world. I am so sorry that I haven't been able to hold on to your hand during your last hour. While driving to see you that afternoon, when I received the call from my aunt, my heart tore to pieces. You wanted to see me so much, yet I couldn't make in time to see you. But I know that you are with God and Jesus, so I am relieved.
Today I just got vaccinated for Hepatitis, Typhoid, and got medications for Malaria. Visa for Ghana should be approved and coming out soon, and I will make sure i have everything before my departure on the 17th of June.
Although my hopes are high for this journey, I still have some qualms about it. Persuading my parents, especially mom, was not an easy job. I totally understand how sending a 17 year old baby away from her to a land far away in Africa is a difficult decision to make, because she cares about me more than anything. So sometimes I feel like a bad son, making parents worry about me all the time because of my desires and wishes. But despite our arguments, my parents ultimately supported me in my decision, and I thank them so much for it. I do believe that this journey is going to be a life changing one, and I dearly hope that it can show me a path that I can take later in my life as well.
