Goodbye & 1st flight

Well, my time here has ended.  I said goodbye to most everyone the night before I left. 

Heidi, Ash, Marie, & I went to Boodles for dinner.  Ash & Heidi had taken all the interns there when we first arrived, so it just seemed right that we should eat there again before I left. 

On the way home, we found a kitten mewing.  He was only about 3-4 weeks old, & very little, cold & wet.  He was in someone’s yard, & we couldn’t reach him, but Ash got him to hold onto a stick, which she began to draw to me, so I could grab him.  He fell off, so a Filipino climbed over the fence to get him for us. 

When we arrived home, we gave him a bath in a dish & then bottlefed him.  Christina & Josh took him, so as a companion for their other cat.  He is SO cute!

After I said my goodbyes, Ash, Heidi, & I watched a movie, then tried to get a few hours of sleep before I had to leave.  I think I may have slept a little, but am not sure.

At 4 am, I woke Ash up & after eating breakfast, I finished saying goodbye to people. 

Kuya Romi drove Heidi, Ash, Sylvette & I to the airport.  After unloading my conticos onto a cart, we hugged, said goodbye, & hugged again. 

I got on the first flight ok & am right now flying from Davao to Manila.  Should be arriving in 45 minutes.  Skies are clear & absolutely gorgeous! 

I am doing better now.  When the plane took off, it was accompanied with tears & a heavy heart. 

I know that God is calling me back to the US for a bit, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t miss the Phils, or have tears.  I do look forward though to what God has in store.  It’s going to be amazing!

I will miss you, sisters, so much!! I greatly enjoyed my time. Thank you for everything. You are totally awesome.  Keep up the good work & the Lord be with you & keep you safe in everything you do.  Keep in touch. ..hopefully our paths will cross in the near future…. LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
