The Beginning of the Farewells

I am all done work at DAS which is where I have been for the last 3 years. It has been a good 3 years despite all the ups and downs  (fortunately there were more ups than downs). To be honest, I was starting to think about moving on from DAS, maybe go and do my masters in international development or agriculture when the opportunity with MCC came up. So I thought it would be easy to leave and would not be emotional for me but, surprise! Now that I am all done and gone I am emotional about it!

I wonder if its the loss of that sense of security and routine that is causing me the emotions?

Tonight is the staff Christmas party which I am not going to. I had come up with some excuses about why I wasn't going (and I thought they were true too) but I think it was my subconscious telling me not to go because it would be too emotional for me. So instead I am going for supper with my Dad and oldest nephew Jack. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with 2 out of 4 of my favorite men with me :) (Beckett was sick and Jeff out of town).

Now that it is the next day and I have had some time to reflect I think its more going through the whole routine of 'goodbye' that was making me emotional about leaving DAS. And I also said goodbye a week ago to someone I met a just few months ago but has grown very close to my heart. I didn't realize at the time that  I would miss him as much as I do, but hopefully time and God will heal this sorrow in my heart.
