A Fond Farewell
Last night was my going away party and it only seemed to aid the bittersweet feelings I am having as I leave. I realize I am only going away for four months, a time period which alternately feels very short and very long, but my departure really marks the end of summer. And what a great summer it was, mostly because of my friends and family. I'm sad knowing that upon my return it will be harder to see some of those amazing people, I was grateful to have a chance to say goodbye and give my love to them. But the greatest and sweetest thing I took away from my party was realizing the excitement and love people have for me as I begin this adventure. I thank you for all those well wishes and sentiments and I happily carry them with me as I leave. I love you all, and leave you with this Irish saying, Slan agus beannacht leat, goodbye and blessings with you.

Although we have been together many times during the summer... with everyone... walking into Dave's place and seeing all the people I have come to adore was such a great feeling... I'm happy we were all together again one last time this summer... and soon we will be reunited :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the blog on food choices in Ireland! It sounds like you have lots of choices. I'm curious if they sell/serve mcuh pasta or rice? Probably more potatoes than the other two. Have a good week. Love, Mom
