Tchau For Now

Leaving Brazil is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. This last time even more so because I really don't know when I'll be back again. Every other time that I have left I have had plans to return within the next year. At this point I just don't know what is going to be happening and so it was a very sad good-bye. My Brazilian parents and brother took me to the airport this time. Vitinho has been at the airport every time I have left (except the time I was going to Canada for 4 days to be the maid of honor in Lisa's wedding) but this was the first time his parents had come to see me off. João, Zezé and Vitinho have come to mean so much to me. They are a very important part of my life and I miss them so much!

The airport was chaotic when I was leaving. Even more so than it had been the previous week when Katie and Lucas had left. It makes an already stressful thing even more so when the airport is such a mess. It was extremely difficult leaving these three very special people at the entrance to the security point. I pray that I will see them again soon.

Here I am inhaling a piece of pizza while sitting on the airport floor with Vitinho and Zezé.


Meus pais Brasilieiros, My Brazilian Parents.

Vitinho, meu irmãozinho chatinho que eu adoro, Vitinho, my annoying little brother whom I adore. It sounds way better in Portuguese, trust me!
