I left Mingechevir almost 2 weeks ago and it was painful. That was my community and now... it's not. Mingechevir is a place that I will hold dear in its absurdity and kindness. Of course, there were moments I holed up to cope with being there, but, overall, that was my place. Mingechevir was my home and I am truly fortunate to have been able to experience the people and times I did there. I didn't expect as much emotion would occur on my morning of leaving. I not only said goodbye to my community, I also said goodbye to my 6s. We ended aptly with a sleepover and a mass departure.
My sitemates are now all out of country (AZ6-wise) and I'm the lone Ming6. And I'm pretty confident that I'm basically done with the blog because I'll be with you all very shortly. I'm out of words for this medium.
Thanks for sticking with me these past 27 months. It's been... well, it's been.

Kim, I would just like to give you a big hug! I always looked forward to reading your blog because I felt a connection with you, and Jake's other "sisters" that were with him from the very beginning. I know that this might sound crazy, but I am going to miss you, Amy, and Hannah, now that this Peace Corps journey is over with. I wish nothing but the very best for you and your future!
God Bless!
Aw, Vikki, you're so sweet! Thanks for the nice intention with the hug. Those are needed; it's rough being in the whole 3 month limbo of goodbyes!
The cluster will always be one of those soft spots for me... my original PC family :)
