Lasts and Goodbyes

Something I don't think I could hate more; leaving. All the 'Lasts' and the "Goodbyes'. Leaving somewhere, people who you have lived life with for any extended period of time. Its the that time of year again, the time of year I dreaded in Canada, has come about in Thailand all too quickly.

Last is so final: in the end; finally; in conclusion.

So we had our last ministry on Thursday, our last week in the office, our last trip to such a such beach or restaurant, and our last weekend all together in Thailand.

This week will fly past, we have Foundational Leadership Training, wednesday - friday. On Saturday we graduate this Pais year. And then the goodbyes start. Joel, Linda and Imko fly on Sunday. Nic, Sarah, Louise and Josh on Tuesday, Sam on Wednesday. Saying goodbye to the people I have lived and worked with 24/7 will be hard, but easier then saying goodbye to the kids, who it will be hard to keep in contact with.

Getting over this hurdle is the thing forefront in my mind right now, but I am looking forward to the new adventure in Rotherham. Maybe not the culture shock!

It not all bad, last week Linda, Sam and I went to Krabi. It was awesome. I ate crocodile and chilled on the most stunning beach ever. On Friday we went to see the Morgans, and stayed in a traditional Thai house, after going honey hunting through the forest - unfortunately the tigers live on the other side of the island so I didn't see any. But we got to squeeze the fresh wild honey into a bottle. Its awesome from the mango flower, its dark and tastes a bit like molasses.

anyway, a random blog post for a random time in my life...
