There were days when the despair was overwhelming. Sarah would cry for hours, missing her family, and I would feel an all-consuming sense of failure. We learned to be patient with each other’s weaknesses and to offer comfort in the smallest gestures—a held hand, a shared look, a whispered word of encouragement.
