Well saying goodbyes isn't ever easy, but this one was down right difficult. People were crying and taking pictures and getting final hugs and laughing and ....singing? Well we all handle difficult times the best we can and singing seems to have brought this group together through every shalalala and every woahohoh.
The only thing better than the karaoke with my friends and old friends from Taiwan was my last night with my family. Despite my pleads they sent me back with a suitcase full of gifts for my family. The gifts were all very kind and perfect in every way, but the kindest thing that they gave me to take back aside from memories was an enormous card filled with kind words from everyone in their family. I only wish i could return their courtesy in some way. I only wish Allen could come stay with my family in the U.S.
Hopefully we will be able to host new students this Fall and we will be able to grow close with them and amongst ourselves again. I hope i can as good of a host as Allen was to me.
