When I want time to slow down, it leaps and bounds away.

When I want time to go quicker, it crawls at a hair-pulling speed.

T minus 16 days until we’re on the plane to Korea . . . time in Canada is slipping through my fingers.

I just spent the weekend with my extended family for Thanksgiving and tried to cherish every single moment with them. I found myself trying to create memories where I could bottle inside and hopefully recall when I feel homesick or too far away. How do you say goodbye? I keep saying and hearing from others that “it isn’t goodbye, it is see you later.” I really pray that is true and that we see each other sooner rather than later.

With Skype, Facebook, Blogging, IM, etc. . . we will be able to stay in contact, but somehow that only provides immediate comfort and to stop the tears from flowing while the actual face-to-face goodbye is being said.

I don’t know what the purpose of this blog is. I guess it’s kind of an apology blog if we were hoping to get together but it never happened. Maybe it’s also an apology if our goodbye wasn’t as spectacular or meaningful as you thought it would be. Maybe it’s an “I’m sorry” if you were hoping that some tears would be shed as we parted ways. No matter how our goodbye was or lack of a face-to-face goodbye, please know that I really do cherish your friendship and that I would still love to keep in contact.
