Well, we're here. It's so surreal to finally be here! Yet, in another sense, it's like coming home. In a very, very good way.
Friday was the first day we visited the Center. I thought I would be very emotional, but really, it was like falling into the routine I knew I always belonged in. I saw my Eme. (see my mom's blog post thanks in giving) I thought for sure I would cry my eyes out when I saw her beautiful face, but again, it was just the norm.
My time in the states was only a short break from what I know is my true home. Seeing faces, going places that I remember. This is home.
I'm coming home.
I'm so glad you are home! I know exactly how you feel. Can't wait til I'm there for good.

ReplyDeleteMy Dear Claire,
ReplyDeleteI would be remiss if I did not follow your blog. The apple did not fall far from the Jen Tree in your writing. I will try to read all, promise to reply to some, and your family will always be in my prayers.
Safety & Blessings,
Mr. Fergus - Alex
