left behind

I knew when we signed up for this adventure that this day would come. I also mentally prepared myself for the "ok, back in the world where all those you love and hold dear leave."

However, I did have some real tears yesterday. It's slowly becoming clear to be through trickles of conversations at a time that most of those that I hold dear and near to me in this location will no longer be in Kigali next year. I'm going through the stages. I've stopped at anger because it's easiest to manage and focuses my energy whereas bargaining means that I will soon have to accept that these people are leaving.

This is life.

This is what we signed up for.

I know that and it doesn't get easier.

And I really do love you all and know this is the right move for all of you, but selfishly it sucks!

(and I write this knowing full well that I left a lot of you who read this behind as well....and I still miss you every day)
