One of the hardest things about being an expat family is family. We constantly miss our family that we left behind. We, however, are one blessed expat family. For three months my dad (J) has been staying with us. Sadly, tonight is his last night here. It's always hard to say goodbye, but I think it is harder when your parent is aging (though gracefully I must add - especially since he reads our posts faithfully.) I am SO thankful that he came and stayed, and it was so nice this morning to hear other teachers say how blessed they have been having Dad around. Maybe in the future we can convince him to spend half the year here.....
Anywho, please pray for our family tomorrow as we say goodbye to Grampa - it will be hard on all of us, no matter how tough I try to act about it.
