My day was adventurous at work today as I got to meet some of the defendants in person and speak with them. It is an experience that I will never forget. I was scared but at the same time interested in meeting them. We dropped by to give them transcript of their trials. They each took tiime to ask me my name, where I was from and how I liked the job. I was very intimidated to be around people accused of such atrocities.
Attached to today's posting is a picture of me at work today (we're allowed to wear jeans on Fridays) and a picture of my ID card.
Today was an especially difficult day for me emotionally because two of my friends (one in New York and the other here in Freetown) lost their dads to cancer. I was really emotional and devastated at the news of both deaths. I paid my respects at the home of my friend (in Freetown) after work, and it was very sad to see him without his father. I have known him and his family since our childhood. As for my friend in New York, the passing of her dad was more difficult because I couldn't be there for her during this very difficult time. I really feel like a bad friend, but I called her and she made me feel better. We both cried on the phone and I expressed my deepest condolence to her entire family. May both their dad's souls rest in peace.
Once again, thank you all. I hope that you all will have my friends, their dads and their families in your prayers. Thank you very much and I look forward to your comments.
