Goodbyes

Besides packing we've been saying goodbyes to friends and family. We were told that a successful transition depends on a successful closure. We are blessed to have very gracious and kind friends who have said goodbyes to us in their own thoughtful ways.

Some friends took us out for a lunch or dinner or a bbq. Some made dinner and had us over. Some cooked very special meals for us. One friend gave us a camera so we can take pictures in VN. One friend personally painted "The Creation of Adam" on a canvas and gave it to us because she remembered that I have expressed interest in it to her in the past. And a friend invited us to spend a weekend at his ranch with very nice foods, accommodations, and times spent with close friends. We are very grateful for you all in the way you have expressed your support and sent us on to our next phase in our life journey.
