A year. That is how long I have called Georgia home, and in a week it will all be over. One part of my life, that is so uniquely mine and forever will be mine. Bits and pieces will be told, but the whole story will never be heard by one person, and it’s not intended to.
None of this would have ever been possible without my family, my Georgian family, Tamariani, and all my friend scattered around the world, esp. those who took me in, fed, and entertained me. Without all of you I would forever be the child sitting alone, in a corner with a balloon tied to her wrist.

| Ok, so maybe I was that child the other weekend... |
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me have the most amazing year of my life, even if I just met you for a brief moment. I have nothing but radiating love for all of you!
Emily

ReplyDeleteHey nice post! This is Emily. The other one. Sorry to post on your blog like a creepy creeper but I went to look you up on facebook tonight to say hello and see how things were going and you were not to be found! So I couldn't really think of any other way to get in touch and say hi, besides commenting like a skulking skulker on your blog. Hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful! I hope I feel similarly when leaving. Though I don't think I'm going to stick it out for a year =(
