In 2 days I will be leaving Spokane, Washington for South Carolina which is just a mini vacation to the big adventure to Cork, Ireland. I can't believe its here I've been planning a dreaming and now its here. It makes me so sad to think that I'm leaving L'Arche Spokane behind. Not only was this a job but every single one of these people are my family. No more waking up every morning to toothless grins and messy haired good morning hugs. No more random birthday presents of object around the house when it wasn't even my birthday. It's because of David that im not tender headed anymore with all the fountain ponytails at the dinner table. The way Tina smiles when I make silly faces or Mike ask me 'what you do today'. Hal always likes to point out what color shirt I was wearing and was my coffee buddy. Sean always making me laugh and taught me to jitter-bug. Richard for those rare moment for sincerity and telling me that I'm not the easiest person to live with. LOL. These are just little examples but so fresh in my mind where I hope they stay. I'm so happy to go home for a while then to Ireland but I just can't believe that means I have to leave Spokane. Not only the Core Members but I will miss all the assistants as well and all( well my 2) friends out of the community. I want to thank L'Arche Spokane for 2 amazing year not only was it fun but it taught me so much and life and myself. This will not be the last time we meet!! I love you all!
