Farewell Letter to the Ones I Leave Behind… 

Dear beloved friends,

The long and tedious journey back home has began. Funnily enough, I don’t feel terribly sad as I thought I would. Maybe because I have reconciled the fact that it IS time to go home and start a new phase in my life. I’ve done and learnt so much here and it is time to bring it back home.

I have had such treasured friendships and memories that I will never forget. Such as:

1. The endless and lonnnnggg nights of just “talking”.
2. The journey of learning the very hard game of Bridge and becoming half way decent at it.
3. Showing my American friends what almost decent yummy Asian food really is.
4. Learning to like corn.
5. Hanging out and bugging people at the International and OME offices.
6. Being invited to enter into the lives and hearts of my professors and their families. (And falling in love with the most amazing orange cat, Tommy!)
7. This amazing last summer. The highs AND the lows. The wonderful game nights and just randomly playing weird card games that make no sense.
8. “Educating” A on the joys and loves of shopping (tee hee).

Above all, I miss the people. I’ve met soooooo many different people from all walks of life, heard their stories, laughed and cried with them and through it all learnt and grew so much in my experience and outlook. I came 2 years ago and am leaving a different people, having been enriched by the people that I have been honored to meet.

I just want to say, “Thank You” to all those who have made these last 2 years amazing and unforgettable. I hope that I have shared a little of myself with you all too. I leave you with an open invitation to come visit my beautiful homeland and let me show you around.

Till we meet again, wherever and whenever the Lord chooses,
TransitionGirl
