The weekend was spent relaxing and cuddling up with Shane as
much as possible…reason to come.
The first Monday of October was National Foundation Day of
Korea so no school. Tuesday arrived and
I cried…Shane was leaving for the states…a speed bump that would leave us with
5 months apart. I taught my first two
classes and then they let me go to the airport with him.
Then came time for goodbyes—first to Honey
who looked so sad in her cage. Then to
Shane…such a warm embrace while the knot in my throat continued to form as I
held back the tears. Off he went. I waited a short while to make sure they
loaded Honey (she was still waiting at the check-in counter). Then off I went
back to Suwon. I climbed aboard the bus and started crying. I’d cry on and off the whole trip home. I got home and saw my note he left me and the
tears really started flowing down. Everything
would be ok. It was best for our future because he went back to get everything
ready for when I got back so it’d be an easier transition. We were able to
Skype everyday but there’s really not a substitution for having someone by your
side. It’d be different if we had a
difficult relationship then it’d be much more of a celebration for time
apart. I’m glad we have such a strong
relationship.
