On Continuation and Closure

It has taken well over a year (one year, five months, five days to be precise) to translate all of my journal entries from Ghana into typed text, but I have finished. Beginning this afternoon, one day's entry will be posted every second day until all are up. After today, all entries will go up at 6 AM EST.

I found typing up these final entries emotionally charged as I relived each day through the words that will be posted and the memories with which those words are associated. As before, I have made almost no changes to the original wording and content of the journal as I wrote it on the dates provided with each entry. Finally, there is a closure of sorts. It all remains open in some ways.
