Leaving is never easy, but especially after being here for a whole year. Our friendships have deepened and our time with family has been sweet! So many memories! It is going to be hard to leave. That is just the way it is. I keep thinking it might get easier as it gets closer to August 5, but this time it hasn’t. Maybe it is because it has just been so wonderful to be home with our parents, siblings, cousins, church and friends. Thankfully, we also love our home in Kyiv, the work we do, and the friends there that have become our Ukrainian family. It really helps the difficulty of leaving, when the place you are going to is so awesome! One more month, and then it is good bye Winnipeg, hello Kyiv!
