Well, the dreaded time has come (of saying goodbye to my beautiful family). I have NEVER been good with goodbyes, just the sound of the word makes my eyes burn and my throat ache right now. I feel like I must be the only woman on earth who leaves her 3 children under 6 for 8-9 days in a row. I have to keep reminding myself that God made it abundantly clear that he wanted me to go. I'm sure that I freaked Lyric out when I broke into tears when singing her lullaby. She kept giving me kisses (which of course made me cry more). I know that we'll all be fine, it's just so hard to say goodbye.
I know that I will be staying with a lady (in her 50's I believe) who doesn't speak English. I will be there without anyone else from Zurich. This of course makes me nervous, but thankfully Linda stayed with her in April and has told me how wonderful she is. I'm sure it'll be great.
I think I'm all packed, but I have the feeling I'm forgetting things (isn't that always the way)? At shortly before 8, we are soon heading off to bed because we have to leave Clinton in 5 hours. I'm praying that I get some sleep. Bonnie, you won't approve, but I self-mediated with Gravol so I could catch some winks :) Otherwise I know I'd never be able to do it.
I will miss talking to you all. I'm hoping I'll be able to blog from there, but I sincerely doubt it. So talk to you all after 10 sleeps.
Love Mel
