Shariff was already in bed asleep, and that left Umaru! :) He wanted me to hold him, love him, and kiss on him! I was happy to do so. It was amazing to have some one-on-one time with him and give him the affection that he needed. I loved every second of it.
After prayer, I took Umaru to his room, and walked Fatmata to hers. I stopped on the way to talk with her. I explained how much I loved her and that I loved her smile. I asked her to greet me at the farewell ceremony with her big smile that she had on our arrival day. She promised, we hugged, and I tucked her in.
...and we had a wonderful goodbye! Although there were tears, I got to see that beautiful smile again!
