And so the journey almost ends
Today, we visited the US embassy in Moscow one last time and we got Brody Marat's visa to enter the United States. When we walked in that embassy, I felt like we were almost home and got so emotional. There were 4 or 5 other families there, getting their children's visas as well. We also got the chance to visit Red Square and see the Kremlin. Wow, we really are in Russia!
We also found out that one of the subways that was bombed yesterday was a 5 minute walk from our hotel. I cant even process that right now. I can barely process much of anything at this point. All I know is that it appears that we are coming close to the end of our long journey.
Tomorrow, we fly home. Direct flight from Moscow-JFK/NYC. Needless to say, as amazing and resilient as Brody Marat has been throughout this whole ordeal, I cant imagine tomorrow will be easy on any of us. 11 hour flight.
I dont know what I will do when we arrive home. Will I continue this blog? I doubt it. But I promise to write one last time, when we finally and permanently bring Marat home.
Talk to you again from the US.

The Cargills are Safe
This is more of an informational post, rather than a baby update.
Many of our friends and colleagues are following this blog and we wanted to let you all know that we are safe, in light of the 2 subway bombings in Moscow during rush hour today. We found out about these bombings as we were getting ready to leave our hotel to head to a medical clinic for Brody Marat's mandatory physical and then to the US embassy. Needless to say, security is heightened and the day has been filled with anxiety, but we are safe. Our hotel is not far from the subway stations that the bombs exploded in.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of those killed and affected by the horrific acts of today.
