Today we said goodbye to some very amazing people. They are here in India doing God's work and are part of a small group of people that have become very special to me. Although we have not spent much time together, there is a special kind of friendship that is formed when God as at the center of it. We will miss them and will pray for them daily from across the big pond!
We came home and Krupa was just finishing up cleaning, this would be our last time of seeing her. We took some pictures and shared a goodbye that was surprisingly even harder than i thought it would be. She has been such a kind and hardworking housekeeper and a blessing to my household. As she closed the door behind her Ella Mae began yelling "kisses" and was getting upset so i opened the door and she ran to Krupa giving her another hug and a kiss on each cheek. Its moments like this that i wish i could fully explain to her what is going on in complete detail, but she seems to really be grasping that we are saying real goodbyes this time. My heart hurts for her as we begin to break these "connections" and so we continue on the "goodbye path" tonight as we attend a birthday party and tomorrow at our farewell party. The hardest goodbye, of course has already been done (Kira), but the one i am now dreading the most is Salim. Salim is like family, Ella Mae loves him and so do we....Man this is getting hard!
