the road...

Here I am, at the end of this road. I sit here in awe of what the past 3.5 months has done to me and my heart. I am changed. This experience here in South Africa is one that will never be forgotten. I am so excited to go home and see my loved ones, yet I am so sad to be leaving this place that has become my home in such a quick time. It is such a bitter-sweet feeling. I'm leaving a piece of my heart here with South Africa as well as all of the people who I have had the honor to work along side and grow, learn, and love with.

I still need to process a lot before I can really write a full post here....so maybe on my 19 hour plane ride home, I can write. So expect something in a few days.

I am not sure if I can say it enough, but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the love and support that you have all poured out on me. I wouldn't be here and wouldn't have made it if it were not for you all.

And to the YFC team and staff and to South Africa...my love for you is enormous. I will never be the same because of you. Thank you! Take care of those little pieces of my heart for me....I WILL see you soon :)

So...here we go. Last afternoon in Capetown, SA. Last blog post from my little area in the office. But this is not the end....

See you all on American soil!

so much love to give,
Shawna
