I had a sad moment today. I realized that on this day two months from
now, Rodger and I will be home…alone.
Our girls will be leaving us soon and just the thought makes me want to
cry.
I do not know who all reads this blog, if
it is just family and friends, or if there are other people out there in the blogosphere
that have happened to wonder in. But I
want to announce it loud and clear to everyone:
Hosting a foreign exchange student has been an absolutely, positively, wonderful
experience. I do not know if it is because we happened to
get two exceptional girls or if it is because the girls got such an exceptional
family (just kidding) but I do know, we will do it again.
To the families I would like to say you
have raised astonishing daughters. They
are smart, funny, kind, friendly, honest, trustworthy, personable and
brave. They both have faced this
challenge head on and have done so extraordinarily. Yes there have been times
(few and far between) when they have been home sick, but they both overcame it
quickly and came back from it better than before and ready and rearing to
go. You must be great parents to have
raised them so well. Kudos to you all!
Rodger and I will miss them terribly when they
are gone but I know that we will keep in touch. I hope to dance at both of their
weddings. We love them dearly.
