Best Brunch Ever!

I had the privilege of having brunch with a young woman this morning that I met in person for the first time today.  We had the loveliest conversation regarding friends around the world; different names for Tylenol; six berths; top bunks vs. bottom bunks; meal times; and patients aboard the good ship Mercy.  Ashley graduated from Lakeville North just like Matt and Micah.  She just completed a nursing stint in plastics on Ward B aboard the Africa Mercy currently docked in Douala, Cameroon.  It was my honor to buy her meal and thank her for her service to the world's forgotten poor.  And just like the rest of us, she one day hopes to serve again with the good ship . . .
