"...they separated themselves and departed one from another, trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest; for they supposed that great was the work which they had undertaken"
Alma 17:13
I feel like I should be allowed to wear a shirt this week that says "I just said goodbye to my missionary" so people understand the reason behind the swollen eyes and random bursts of tears.
What a bitter sweet next two years these will be. I can not wait to grow spiritually with him and watch him learn and grow.
I walked out to keians car last night knowing it was going to be the last for two years. He stood outside the car smiling and opened the car door for me. Somewhere over the rainbow was playing (and for those of you who don't know, my family and I associate that song with my little brother who's passed beyond the veil) my heart melted. We sat in his car cuddled, talked and sat in silence for a couple of hours. As I was laying my head on his shoulder the thought "how is this our last cuddle for two years? That's not a thing" repeated over and over. but it is.
It didn't hit me until I gave him his last kiss and hug and watched him look back at me as I closed the door to my house.
Since then the tears just keep coming and the words stay strong repeat over and over. I love this boy more and more everyday & everytime I think I can't love him anymore than I already do... I love him more.
He sent me a text yesterday saying in two years we'll be cruising in my car and we'll say "that was fast"
I can't wait for that moment.
I look up to him. He's blessed my life in so many ways ever since the ninth grade. (I know what you're thinking ..that was dinosaur years ago)
So basically anyone who wants to sit in top knots & indulge in tubes of icecream & eat hot Cheetos while watching Netflix for this next month (obviously we'll go to the gym too..I mean, summers coming up) have heart to hearts. basically become the best of friends. Then pls feel free to join me.
I love you keian Maliga!
