I sit here in our lounge amidst clothes drying on the rack, blankets stacked up to be donated, and dishes and food that has been sorted and piled high on the counters in bags to be given to friends. It’s hard to believe this moment has come – after 16 months of living in South Africa, it is now time for me to go back to the United States.
These past couple of weeks have been most wonderful as I have tried my best of make the most of the rest of my time here. I would love to sit and write blog posts about my experiences and about those who have touched me the most and have become part of my story in this beautiful country.
But I’m not going to – not in South Africa. I sign off this letter to you all, my dear blog community, to write that no more posts will be written before I board the plane Monday night. For even though there is still cleaning and packing to be done, you better believe that more memory making is going to be crammed into these two days. I plan on leaving with a bang.
See you on the other side of the Atlantic. Cheers!
… and we can’t wait to meet you on the other side of the Atlantic!! We love you!!
