Now that I have been in Orlando just under a week, worked 4 days and had two off to try to unpack the car... let me give an update...
Leaving Tifton was a WHOLE LOT HARDER than I thought it would be.... The lucky part (I guess) was that everyone had to leave quickly to be somewhere else, so my goodbyes were quick!
I must say that I really miss Caiti... She has been an appendage of mine for almost a year and life seems a little less comical and chaotic---I am not sure that is a good thing... I really do miss her snuggles and hugs and unconditional love.
Jimmy gave me a tight hug as I left and has called several times since to "check" on me... He is not very demonstrative in his affections, but I KNOW he loves me, in spite of all my quirks!
I was doing really well with my Goodbyes to my two close friends- Debra and Debbie until they both told me that I was the sister they never had and they would miss me too much! Who knew?? Amazing how the number of sisters a person can have can grow over a lifetime.
I should have never visited Mom and Dad after my two Debbies got my "hay fever" started... It has been 19 years since I came back to Tifton and Mom and Dad have been the one constant during my time there. Physically, I was ready to leave, but when I started with the good bye hugs to my parents... I realized that I was not mentally ready to leave them... It was the hardest thing in the world to do to pull away from them and actually walk out that door and get into the car.... Heavenly Father, Please take care of all my loved ones that I left behind in Tifton... Bless me that I might make them and YOU proud of me..
