Angels - Kolkata 4 Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,
I hope everyone back home in the good old USA has a Great day today….and that everyone is Thankful for what they have in life , starting with family….
Todays visit brings me to St Catherine’s Seniors home where I visit two old friends Sister Teresa and Mrs DeSouza and then at the Kolkata Guest House where I meet another good friend Raja…
I met in a guest room at St Catherine’s with Sister Teresa and Mrs DeSouza. All of us talk about old times and have some good laughs together.
Sister Teresa was the Sister who started the afternoon school program at St Teresa’s for the street children with Angels many years ago..
She was a hard worker Sister for the poor children and now she has retired. Mrs DeSouza is one of the kindest person’s that I have ever met…we talked together for over an hour and had a wonderful time with each other.
From here I went to see Raja. He works at the guest house that I stayed at for many years. Raja always looked after me as well as my needs during my trips.
On one visit I had a small outpatient operation on the back of my shoulder just before I came to Kolkata. The Doctor told me Ray don’t go to Kolkata as this wound has to be cared for and kept clean along with the dressing changed every day. It can not get infected…. It’s on your back and you alone can not do it …..Long story short …
When I came to Kolkata against Doctors orders , Raja cleaned and changed my bandage every day for 3 weeks of the trip…
Everything work out great because of him….
This is one of the reasons why I come to Kolkata every year at Thanksgiving the main reason being ….To Give Thanks to the people whoever they were who looked after my 3 adopted children before they came to my wife and I in the USA , and also to say Thank You to the people who have helped me visit Kolkata during 26 trips , to reach out and help others in need the best that I can….
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
