I shed more tears than I thought my tear ducts could manage. My first visit to a Leprosariums was the Island of Hayling Chau inHK in the 1960s where I lost my fear of leprosy and gained huge admirstion for the patients living there under the care of an Irish missionary Doctor. God bless you and thank you for your love laden story. I have just finished reading M.F. Kuang’s Babel, At 28 she is a geniius.
God bless you Robin
