Chapter 9 Part 2

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.
