Good Byes

I've never been one who likes saying "Good Bye." I don't know many people who do. Tim even makes fun of how long it takes me to say 'bye' even at church. Well, living in an international community people are always moving in and out. Last night, we had to say 'see you later' to our friends Arno and Jiska. Not an easy thing to do. We will miss them tremendously. Jiska was a strong push to get the women's bible study going and on track. Arno was great at organizing and moving our English service in Helsingborg forward. They are a great encouragement and wonderful friends.

Now today, I have to take my niece to the airport. After spending the last 5 weeks with us, Caitlyn has to go home. (Not by my choice! I even looked into changing her ticket.) It has been so much fun having her with us. We have enjoyed spending so much time with her. Last night we had a cookout at the beach. Then we played mini golf. I wish I had that on video! What a blast. We finshed the evening off with nothing less than ice cream. (Not to mention that we had it earlier in the day as well.)

Tim said that "byes" should be getting easier, seeing as we are doing it so much. I don't think so. I'm already not looking forward to the drive to the airport. Yes, I've even cried already.
