Goodbyes are never fun, which is why its usually see ya laters. Yesterday I had to say one of my first see ya later. One of my closest friends is from New York and its not possible for her to come back down or for me to go up to her between now and launch. It wasn’t easy even though we said see ya later, there were tears and hugs and of course lots of pictures. It was easy but hard. Another see ya later was to my Grandpa, while I was at training camp the Lord called him home to be with him for eternity. That was probably the hardest see ya later I will have to give. It was mid training camp, I wanted to come home but that wasn’t what he would want nor what the Lord had planned. But knowing that I’ll see him again someday is comforting, he’s up in heaven play the trombone again and of course leading the orchestra. Enjoying everything he could do down here on Earth, he’s also worshiping our savior, thanking him in person for the greatest gift anyone could ask for even if we don’t deserve it. Grandpas looking down on us and is going to be looking at me from heaven during my mission. He’s dearly missed here on Earth but he’s up there having the most amazing time he possibly can.
