August 14th,
Goodbyes are like bee stings, they get worse every time.
There are those things which we can choose to remain nullified to more or less but goodbyes just aren't one of them because the further you go the fonder you become and the harder they leave. I just spent two weeks saying goodbye to almost all my friends in New York and now the few I had left in Kentucky are leaving as well. Tomorrow morning three of our own from Johnson house, Kelsey, Nick, and Jimmy leave us after so long in service and new volunteers come in their stead, although, they will never be replaced. There's a mantle in our house, it sits center of our living room, the same room where so many jokes were told, so many devotions took place, and so many lives were shared. A few names stand burned in this mantel, a few names but countless memories. One day my name will be up there too....one day.
