Touching down in Mumbai was a surreal experience. For the past couple of weeks I have been worrying myself sick (literally - my stomach was in knots so much I had diarrhoea) but as soon as I walked off the plane and saw familiar sights around the airport all the worry and nerves started washing away and in it's place a feeling of calmness and joy replaced it.
Driving to the hotel seeing and hearing more familiar sights and sounds made me feel even more happier. Even the stench of sewers as I walked out the arrival gate doors made me smile. It wasn't until I got to the hotel that I understood why my feelings had changed so quickly. It was because I was back in the city that created Lawson. I always knew Mumbai would hold a special place in my heart but I didn't realise how much until now. When we where hear last time I was so sleep deprived and focused on getting our baby home that I didn't stop to think about the magic that had happened here. There are so many wonderful memories here in this city and being back here is making them all come flooding back. I just wish my boys where here to share it with.
We have proven that dreams really do come true, now we just have to hope and pray that dreams can be seen to the end.
