Coming Home

I have just a few more days here in the TSA and I'm feeling a mixture of emotions. The conclusion of this experience has made me remember its beginning ... sitting on my sofa at home researching internship opportunities ... and from there to Pretoria South Africa with stress and joy in between. It has been a phenomenal experience. I've met some terrific people. And I'm sad about leaving. I thought that the excitement of seeing my friends and family would outweigh the sadness of leaving, and perhaps that will happen as I get closer to home ... but for right now I'm just very sad. I've started planting roots here ... friends, families, Sunday dinners, vacationing in Mozambique, work, Pretoria really did become my home for the 2 months that I was here. So I just wanted to write a special note to Magdalene, Sine, Bridget, Leighston, Simon, the Nkini family, the Ahlers family, Xafia, Helen, Jupiter, Kim, Karoo, Satchmo, Millie, Liz Mac, Victoria, Ursula, Pierre, Katy and Lisa Glenn, and BRI ... and on and on and on. And thanks to my family who read my blog religiously :) I'll see you all soon. Grateful, Kristian
