How are you ? I saw, a few days ago, that there were floods in your country . I thought of you and your family ; I hope you were not affected. What about your health ? Do you feel better ? Are you well looked after ? I must tell you that I have moved out again. I was in a small community near Mont-de-Marsan with three other Sisters. I was happy. Everything went off smoothly, but I was always tired. It was due to neuralgia, I think, and to age, as well, no doubt, and I could no longer assure any work. We thought the matter over, so now, I am in a nursing home in Cambo, near Bayonne, in the Basque Country. There are other Sisters that I know ; it was difficult at the beginning, but we are well, 70 persons, and the atmosphere is good. I am nearly used to it. My family are fine, it is important ; a little far away…but they will come and see me . Here we have a mass twice a week , there are activities, we can go out whenever we like. I still have a link with the ACAT group of Dax. Odile keeps me informed. We have television and I watch the news, more particularly what’s going on in Ukraine : it’s terrible. We ‘ll be happy when we get news from you. We were of course affected by Covid which is going away a little. Sherniel, I think of you, I am looking forward to hearing from you. See you soon.

Kumusta ka ? Nakita ko, ilang araw na ang nakalipas, na may mga baha sa iyong bansa . Naisip ko ikaw at ang iyong pamilya; Sana hindi ka naapektuhan. Paano ang iyong kalusugan? Mas maganda ba ang pakiramdam mo? Inaalagaan ka ba ng mabuti? Dapat kong sabihin sa iyo na lumipat ako muli. Ako ay nasa isang maliit na komunidad malapit sa Mont-de-Marsan kasama ang tatlo pang Sisters. naging masaya ako. Naging maayos ang lahat, ngunit palagi akong pagod. Ito ay dahil sa neuralgia, sa tingin ko, at sa pagtanda, pati na rin, walang duda, at hindi ko na matiyak ang anumang trabaho. Pinag-isipan namin ang bagay na iyon, kaya ngayon, ako ay nasa isang nursing home sa Cambo, malapit sa Bayonne, sa Basque Country. May iba pang Sister na kilala ko; mahirap sa simula, pero maayos naman kami, 70 tao, at maganda ang atmosphere. Halos nasanay na ako. Ang aking pamilya ay maayos, ito ay mahalaga; medyo malayo...pero darating sila at makikita nila ako . Dito kami nagmimisa twice a week , may activities, pwede kaming lumabas kung kailan namin gusto. May link pa ako sa ACAT group ni Dax. Ipinapaalam sa akin ni Odile. Mayroon kaming telebisyon at nanonood ako ng balita, lalo na kung ano ang nangyayari sa Ukraine: ito ay kakila-kilabot. Magiging masaya kami kapag nakatanggap kami ng balita mula sa iyo. Naapektuhan kami siyempre ng Covid na medyo nawawala na. Sherniel, naiisip kita, nasasabik akong marinig mula sa iyo. Hanggang sa muli.
