Saying Goodbye

So... This week is going to be one of my hardest in London. I have learned that its always going to be harder to say goodbye to friends here - as I'll only known then for a year or so.. I believe in London, friendships are made quicker because you depend on them more than you would when you're at home as you have family to fall back on. It was hard when Sarah left.. harder still when Anandi and Deb-Deb left... but this week (and again in 2wks) I will be saying goodbye to a total of 6 people - 5 of them in a space of 4days. I personally think its quite cruel how they organised this, and we, the ones who have to stay behind, have to say goodbye to them all!


Seriously though, these people are AMAZING! They have made my life in London so memerable and so, so awesome. We have laughed together, cried together and grown so much that its scary!



But, there is a peace about it all.. We know that its not a goodbye.. its a 'see ya later' - whether that be in South Africa in a few months time, back in Brisvegas, at our weddings, or births of our children.. and if not those - in Heaven.



So... Caroline, Heather, Rachael, Leon, Marieda and Noah - I love you all. I thank you for the extraordinary people that you are, and ..... see you soon!
