Saying goodbye
I feel like I have been saying goodbye for a month and a half straight. It has been kind of weird, Danielle and I have had multitudes of going away parties. So many goodbyes to say. It has been heartening to see that I have so many people who care about me and so many people to say goodbye to. But, at these parties there have been some of the same people multiple times, I am running out of things to some of these people. I love and care for them, some of them are great friends, or family whom I love very much, but its hard to say goodbye multiple times. I am feeling done with goodbye. They are hard and sad emotionally.
I am glad that today is our last day, we only have one more goodbye, at least in person. I intend to call some family while I wait to board the plane, but only one more goodbye. Then I switch to hello. I am excited to say hello. Hellos are exciting and they feel more happy. Hello will come with multitudes of Welcome parties. Its a hard life, at least a bit hard on my liver.
One last night in the US, then a Satrosunday and we are in japan. Finally the adventure begins. It should be a good ride.
