Saying goodbye is never easy...and I for one have never been good at them. My mom always reminds me of how I used to be, when I was little. I'd play at my friends houses and have so much fun I'd cry when it was time to go (even if I knew that I was just going to see them the next day or even the next week). So it is no surprise that as I say my goodbyes to different parts of my life here in Portland I tear up, knowing that I'll see everyone again, yet feeling like a part of my world is crashing down.
Sunday Anna, Cristina and I, all roommates for a total of three years together, said our goodbyes as Anna and I moved our things over to our parents house and Cris finished out the long week of packing for her new destination. Monday I said goodbye to working for my dad in his office. Wednesday I said goodbye to my Coffee's On coworkers as I completed my final closing shift. Soon I will be saying goodbye to my dear friends and family, my church family, my comforts, my space, and the normal day to day, to say hello to a new and relatively unknown world (to me) in Argentina.
So, as I let go of yesterday and today, I take a deep breath and journey into the future; and I excitedly anticipate the new friends and experiences awaiting me. And I promise you that I will cry when I leave there too, its just who I am :).
Until tomorrow...
