Gift of Life Child Justin Acosta - Day 43

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

What a beautiful, beautiful morning. It really started at 12:26AM. I had just gone to sleep around 12:00AM when the phone rang. I woke up, reached over, and picked up the receiver. No. It was the whole phone. I LISTENED and heard "Hi John. It's me, Dulce". Suddenly, I knew that the forty three days were complete, knowing Justin and Dulce were safely at home.

The trip was good, no problems at all. The first question I asked, "How is Justin"? "He is fine and he slept almost all the way home". I said, "You must be tired", and her reply was a simple, "no". She is now back with her family with a healthy child. The words were "I love you John, I love Bob, and peoples in Rotary and the United States". That really made me feel good (cry). Dulce sounded like she would talk forever, so I told her to take it easy, and to enjoy her family. She promised to call often. She thanked me again, and I told her once more that she and Justin came into my life when I really need them. I said God bless you both and hung up the whole phone.

Yours in Rotary,

John Koch
