Saying Goodbyes... but not leaving yet!

...


At the beginning of this year we thought we were leaving Singapore at the end of May so at the beginning of May it was only natural for us to start saying our goodbyes... which we did... and they carried out until the middle of May when we found out that we would be here until the end of June... so the goodbye's have begun but we still do not have a ticket in hand or know when we are leaving... and we just found out a couple of days ago that we might be here until the end of July... so it looks like another round of goodbye's are in order...

I had to say goodbye to all of my MOPS friends... you will see more about this later.

Then our Women's Director is also leaving soon so there have been a couple of parties for her where I was able to hug on some people... and say goodbye.


Dinner with our neighbors... boy are we going to miss them...

And what we thought was going to be our last Supper Club... we are so excited to be here another 2 months but I don't think I can take saying goodbye again... it is always hard to say goodbye... and just like many times in our lives when you make a big move it is just hard to say that we will see each other again.. because you just never know... I have come up with a saying when I feel like I am hugging someone for the last time I say "I am not going to say goodbye.. bc we still got heaven"... makes me feel better.

Summer is always a hard time here bc that is when a bunch of people travel with their families and/or take a long vacation back home (where they are from) bc the kids are out of school and hubbies can take time off... so some of the goodbye's that have taken place bc they have already left Singapore but when they return we will not be here... but with no tickets yet... you just never know...

Come home to us already! Good-byes are hard, I'm sure it's bittersweet to be coming home!
