Today my heart is full. As an American from Philadelphia who was married to a man from Côte d’Ivoire, I was blessed to spend many wonderful years living there, where our children were born. Although we’ve been away for many years, Côte d’Ivoire will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Today, seeing the Elephants of Côte d’Ivoire playing Curaçao at the Lincoln Financial Field , *see Sojourner and crew, as part of the FIFA qualifying matches, in my hometown of Philadelphia feels like two worlds I love coming together. * Oh my gosh- we won!!

My parents would be thrilled over these games. They absolutely loved coming to visit us, in Côte d’Ivoire.

I believe they are smiling today to see our hometown welcoming the people and team of a country that became such an important part of our family’s story.
