Today is officially my last 24-hour day in Mission College, Thailand. Tomorrow, I will get on an early morning flight back home. Goodbye dusty roads sometimes fragranced by the noxious air from a nearby chicken farm.

Already I've said on-the-verge-of-tears goodbyes to some of my friends. Tomorrow, the process will repeat. Goodbye to the people with whom I've spent so much of my time.

My last hours here will be spent eating, laughing, perhaps even crying with friends, and with the Cheney kids, especially the three boys (Nate, Colin, and Ryan). Tomorrow, I will wonder if I will ever see them again, and if the boys will have the vaguest idea of my existence.

Goodbye to this good and extremely blessed life that I do not want to give up just yet. But this chapter has come to an end, and life must go on. I must keep a positive and happy demeanor while I'm still here.

p/s: I think I've written a post with a similar tone about a similar situation almost two years ago.
