Kaitlin - Hopes and Dreams

While I was in Africa, we took the younger children to the beach. It's about an hour away, but most of them had never seen it before. They were enthralled. Whilst most of them ran in and out of the water maniacally, Kaitlin tired of all of this, and was quite happy sitting staring out to sea. While I was watching her, it seemed like she was thinking about all the things she wanted to do, all of her hopes and dreams. Maybe she was just enthralled by the sea for the first time. I don't know. I also don't know whether she'll ever achieve them, but I hope so for her.
