tomorrow

tomorrow I leave

a place I have called home for nearly three years

with heavy heart

my mind whirling with memories

of friends I love

of experiences and adventures that have changed me.
I leave a country of beauty

and turmoil

a little more wise

a lot more grateful

sad that I could not have done more.

although we will shuttle back and forth

it will not be the same. ever.

tomorrow I return -

back to the home I love.

Yeah, we all had babies since that picture. I'm sure mom will miss mexico, but now she gets to be around all the babies! I'm sure that will make up for it.
