Saying Goodbye

With only two days left at home, I was forced to hug my brother and one of my sisters for the last time in ten months tonight. Next will come my closest friends, and of course, my parents. Parting ways with my loved ones will only get harder, and that is something I never thought I would say. I have never been the type of person to get homesick, or call my mom to tell her every detail of my day, but the start of my ten month journey is incredibly close, and I am realizing how much I will miss my loved ones over those ten months. The support of my friends and family has been overwhelming, and I know they will be cheering me on as I take the next step. The hardest goodbye will be with my parents at the airport. Not only because I love them dearly, but also because I know they will blubber like babies in front God and everyone, never making it possible for me to show my face at KCI Airport again.
