May 22, 2006--Feeling nostalgic

Friday was my last day at work. My boss brought me cake, and she teared up when I gave her a card I bought for her. I really am going to miss her. I cried at home that evening and the next morning.

Yesterday was our last day at church. I cried when they had us up on stage to pray for us. I had all these things I was hoping to get to say, and I couldn't even talk because I was so emotional. Erick said everything I wanted to say, anyway. I'm going to miss that church.

They had a little reception at choir practice for me yesterday evening. Happiness came over yesterday afternoon so I could teach her how to sew and bake bread, and she also cut my hair. I tried to pay her but she put the money under my keyboard before we left and I didn't know it until I came home that evening. I'm going to miss her, too.

It's more difficult this time in some ways. When we left Indiana, I knew I'd get to see them again. I don't know if I'll ever see these people again. In a way, I'm going through a grieving process for the people I got to know and love here.

Today we are packing up everything. It's emotionally difficult, too. I just want to go to bed and wake up when it's all over.
