Yesterday my dad bought those fateful tickets which will carry me across the across the ocean in a few months. This is making me think more and more about leaving and goodbyes here. That’s definitely the downside of living an MK life. It’s going to be a huge change going back to Canadian culture, which I’ve been away from for basically all my teen years, but the biggest change will be leaving my family. The combination of Homeschooling and living here in Dakar has drawn us together, and it’s hard to imagine being apart.
Despite the hardship of leaving, however, these years in Senegal have been wonderful, memory-filled years which I wouldn’t give up for anything.

Don’t talk about it!
Yeah, leaving is always hard. I really enjoyed my time in Chad. Hope everything will go well in Canada for you. I’ll be praying.
Ya…. goodbye’s are never fun…
I try and say the les of them as I can, but ubnfortuneatley as an MK they are just something taht you have ot live with.. 
At least emails are still okay for comunication at least.. 
We all have to do it, and not just MKs
Not that that makes it any easier…
Yeah, everybody faces goodbyes, we just have them a lot more often!
The good-byes are difficult, but you’ll get through. Sometimes I think that the people at home have it harder. They seem to miss me more…
Oh, Trev…. I have only known you like 8 months and already you mean so much to me. You are a really awesome guy, and I value our friendship so much. You (and Darren) have shown me that fun, friendly, serious Christian guys do exist. You have no idea how much you ahve impacted my life and whole outlook on guys for that matter in these few short months. I can’t imagina you leaving… I can’t imagine life without DarrenandTrevor… haha…. *tear*…. I almost cried reading your post…. Now, to Darren: I know I am a girl, and its not the same, but (no matter how cliche it is) know that I am here, as your friend. Someone who you can talk to and trust. Someone who will understand how you feel when your best friend leaves. Well, I gotta go. ttyl dudes!
Love in Christ Always,
Emma Jennifer Radford
Awe, goodbyes are no fun indeed.
