What I will miss in Grenada: The kindness of strangers. Everyone we pass on the street tells us "good morning" or "good afternoon." If Esther has a hard time climbing on the bus, someone will help her. People often offer us rides when we're out waiting for the bus. When I've been lost, people have walked me to wherever I needed to go.
What I will like in America: Dirty kids. I've always wanted to be the kind of mom who lets their kids play and get dirty. It's hard here, because after they get dirty we have to board a bus home, then wash off when there may or may not be any water. The dirty clothes have to sit around for a while until we get a chance to do laundry. In America they can just get dirty in the backyard, come inside to take a bath and throw their clothes in the washer.
