It seems like all I have been doing for the past two months is saying goodbye. Goodbye’s can be rough and in my family they are always tear filled. It is hard to think about things changing while I am gone. Nothing will stay the same here at home but will continue to move on. My nieces and nephew will have grown and changed so much. In the summer both of my brothers will welcome new babies, and I will be missing a cousin’s wedding and now a friend has recently gotten engaged as well. I do not expect that things will stay the same in my absence and wish them all the best.
I will most likely not be the same person when I return either. I will have seen things that will break my heart but also experienced joy and conquered fears. God will be there helping me to be a stronger person. He will be my guide and my support as I head out on this journey.
