"I know those dreams you're trying to chase, you want'em now but they won't wait. Last thing you're thinking about is slowing it down and the ones you left behind. I'm always thinking of you 'cause when somebody loves you that's what they do, all of the time. So keep in mind..."
These are the lyrics to a newer song out on the radio, and I can imagine they come from a dad like mine.
I can't tell you how excited I am to return to Bolivia and how thrilled I am that it's finally almost time for me to head south. But that doesn't take away from the fact that I'm going to be quite sad to leave! It's crazy to think about being so far away for so long. Apart from the time I spent 10 weeks in Bolivia, I've always lived within 45 minutes or so of home. While I'm excited to go see what God has for me, I also know that this will likely be one of the most difficult years of my life. If my departure is just under a month away, and I'm already sad about saying goodbye, I can only imagine what it will be like at the airport when my family drops me off. Foget tissues, I'm gonna need a beach towell to dry those tears! haha
Mom, Dad, Ben, Trevor, Cassie, Christopher and Michelle, and all my other dear friends and relatives- I love you a ton and am going to miss each of you sooo much!
