Well, I'm finally leaving! After all this time in Germany, tomorrow I will be taking that Transatlantic flight for the last time. I really didn't allow myself to think about leaving these past few months; I guess it just hit me...right now. I spent most of my young adult time in Germany. I went from girl to woman here. I've encountered so many new things, so many different places, and people. I hate to admit it, I love Germany. I originally never wanted to leave. Living in Germany has sheltered me from a world that I just wasn't ready for, or maybe it wasn't ready for me. I didn't have to worry about where I was going to live, what school to put my girls in, buying a house; not any of the things I have on my plate now. Leaving Germany, is going to be like losing a good friend. You never really understand the impact of that relationship, until it's gone. I can only hope that I have as many good memories in Virginia that I do here.
Sigh. Life is full of so many scary transitions. I would love to live in London. Have you been there?
ReplyDeleteI've visited there once. It is a really nice place to live. I wouldn't mind being stationed there either. Best of both worlds; it's foreign and the locals speak English, lol.
