I’m about to embark on one of the craziest adventures of my life and I am excited and nervous but ready to throw my whole self into this journey. But, my heart hurts for everyone that I am leaving behind. So this is for you- friends, family, supporters, and everyone else I love and care about who is staying home.
To the People I am Leaving Behind,
Know that I love you and care about you so much.
Know that I would never have made it here without you.
Know that I will be sad to miss the birthdays, weddings, new jobs, and graduate school acceptances but that I am so happy for you.
Know that even though I am a world away, I am proud of all you accomplish this year.
Know that I wish I could give you a hug when you’re upset or laugh with you when you’re happy.
Know that when I miss home, it won’t be the air conditioning or the food that I miss most, it will be you.
Know that it is not easy to be away from you, that there will be days when I miss you and want to go home.
Know that we may not talk for weeks, months, or even the entire time that I am gone but that doesn’t change the way I feel about you.
Know that even if I am not able to respond, I greatly appreciate every comment and every message I get from you and these are the things that will get me through the hard days.
Know that I pray for you.
Know that I pray you find love, guidance, and support in Jesus because He loves and cares about you more than I ever could.
Thank you for supporting me and loving me. Drink a Dr. Pepper and eat some pizza for me.
I love you,
Kaitlyn
