And thats a wrap

Saying goodbye to friends or family you’ll see in a couple weeks is one thing. But saying goodbye to people who have impacted your life more than you think is possible, was the most difficult thing I have ever experienced. I don’t know if I am ever going to see them again, and my heart breaks to that thought.

           

            The amount of emotions I have gone through this week is indescribable. I’ve been the happiest I have ever been when I was around the kids. Then I have been the most angry I have ever been in my life when I was around the parents, who treat their kids like pieces of trash. If anything they should be treated better then anyone else because of how much you can learn from them, and how much they care. Nothing can come into comparison of yesterday and the rush of different feelings I went through. I don’t know which was more, the amount of kisses I gave out or the amount of tears I cried.

           

            Saying goodbye was so utterly hard I can barely think about it, let alone write about it. None of the kids really understood why we were crying when we were saying “adios”. But Dyana Pricsilla came up to me (usually she walks up staring into your soul, just smiling her heart out) with her head down. I tilted her head up only to see a tear stained face, and the saddest smile I have ever seen. I lost it to the fact that this is it; this was my only week with Dyana. I couldn’t hold my tears in. Winder rand up to me next, and signed the “hasta manana” sign to me, but I couldn’t do it back and I would give anything to do it just one more time.

            The idea that I might not ever see these kids again makes my stomach flip. My life has been so impacted by them and I learned so much about everything (especially myself) we were the reason behind their smiles, and that is the best thing I could have ever asked for on this trip.
