Hi you!
So, last night we had your farewell party. It is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. We got through it, with not that many tears, so it's all okay. I'm not going to dwell too much on it, we don't need even more tears now that I (and hopefully you) finally stopped crying. What I do like to say about last night is that it warmed my heart. Seeing how many people showed up and were sad to see you leave showed me what I always knew. The two of you are the best people you can ever have in your life and not everyone is worthy of your friendship and your kindness. The fact that I am so lucky to have that friendship means everything to me. If there are ever people not knowing how lucky they are, get rid of them. I also wanted to say thank you for giving me some time alone with A. because I'm going to miss that little munchkin so much.
Now on to the good news. Well, maybe not good, but fun! Since I now have your new adress I'm buying postcards online. I want to send fun cards, not only the touristic one's. You know everything here, it's not going to be a surprise how nice it is over here when you are used to it. Those postcards will follow when you've been gone for a few months and you start to forget how pretty everything is. Those will also be the cards you are getting if (and you better not missy!) you decide not to come back. They will have to persuade you, well that and all the other things I will plan by then ;) But, you will be getting postcards! Who knows, maybe I'll throw in a letter or two! And if I can arrange this, I might put some pictures in there. Depending on how much my parents let me print stuff :p I know, I know, I can print these things in shops as well, but better to be safe than sorry ;)
It's weird to think about the fact that the next time I'll be seeing you will be after an insanely long flight, me probably lying on the floor being happy I'm still alive, already sweating and turning in a pool of water with two eyes and a suitcase I won't be able to carry because I'm all liquid. I then will find a way to become more human again, so we can finally start my holiday. It sounds so surreal. Plane ride to a far away country, two week holiday, being with the best people, seeing things I never thought I get to see. Whaattt??!!!! I'm not believing until I'm finally landing and even then I'll probably have to pinch myself a few times (and no that is not an invitation for you or I. to pinch me :p )
Anyway, if you are bored and we are home at the same time just ask and we'll skype. We have that Children's book to write or a holiday to plan or just talk. Whatever you need, I'm there! After all this is not really a farewell, more like a goodbye and a "I - will- talk- to - you - later- even - over - skype".
Good luck, I know you'll do fine there!
Lots of love,
Me ♥
