A Time To Say Goodbye

The final day was an interesting day internally. One of those bittersweet types. I was happy to be with everyone and just feeling everything so much more, but sad that it had to be the end of our journey. Our final meal was at a Greek place...mmmm. Similar to the meal that started our adventure. Great food. The day wasn't too complex...drive to pick up Jonathon, eat food, drive to the airport...the only hard part was the final moment. Giving the hugs and saying goodbye was really sad. For a moment, while I was printing off the airline ticket, I thought I might shed a tear or two. In fact, writing this is making me a little sad all over again. Only sad that I couldn't see more of the states. Not to say that I won't miss them, but I know I'll see them again. Also, I know it's kind of cliche to say how life changing these type of trips are, but they are. I've seen more, experienced more. I feel like I can be more spontaneous and not so tied down. Goodbye was hard, but it wasn't goodbye for ever, just the moment. I hope they have a fabulous time on the rest of the adventure and I look forward to seeing them in October.
