life is... II

life is bittersweet sometimes, don't you think?

tomorrow is another day of 'goodbyes'... after an intense month of taking care of 15 japanese students, it's time to say 'au revoir,' 'aribe deci,' 'auf wiedersehen,' 'ciao,' 'sayyonara,' 'farewell,' 'so long,' whatever...

bittersweet? well it is, because this last month, my life has more or less revolved around these kids... and i'm ready to get everything back on track... yet, these are some of the sweetest, funniest, kindest, ... kids and i'm really going to miss them.... who knew the japanese were so full of hugs!!

another goodbye.... another hole left in my heart... this group briefly filled another lacking hole, only to have made that hole just a little bigger...

i hate saying goodbye....
