February 22, 2012 has come and gone.... 19 years of my life has gone in a flash. now hopefully the next 2 years go just as fast. i cant believe the boy who nagged me, bugged me, punched me, and loved annoying me is gone. the boy who gave me the best bear hugs, who was always there when i needed someone, who always stood up for me when one was in the wrong. is gone. the boy who healed our family when we were recovering from a loss in our family is gone. wednesday was one of the hardest, longest, most tearful days of my life. im quite happy its over. i wanted him to come home, but now i know he needs to be out there the men, woman and children of Manila, Philippines need him more than me. and i cannot be selfish. its only two years. well two year subtract 3 days. that makes me feel a little better. though today i feel much better because as i was getting ready. before i hoped in the shower i texted my mom. any letter? no response. so as i was blow drying my hair i checked my gmail a low and behold an email from wilson!!! hes struggling. the language is hard, hes a little homesick. but heck its not easy, this is going to be hard for him. he needs to keep his chin up. the kid has never been on his own and i think he will grow so much from this experience personal and spiritual. im so excited to see him grow. im so excited to hear his adventures. i just hope. oh how i hope that he does not lose his cuddliness. for example. i would be home talking with my mom in the kitchen and he would come up stairs and come up behind me and give me a hug or just lean on me. or whenever i needed a hug. he would give the biggest, longest hugs. i love those. and oh how i will miss them. heres to t-minus 707 days.
