The Last Email...

I sat here at the computer tonight and wrote my last email to Bridger. Tomorrow is his last pday as he will return home on Saturday. I could not hold back the tears as I thought of how badly I want him home and yet it breaks my heart to know that a big piece of his heart will remain there in Honduras and I don't want it to be over for him. For two years he has known exactly what to do each day and now things will change. I knew that this young boy that we sent out into the world would change, I just didn't realize just how much I would grow throughout this whole journey. I have learned so much about faith and exercising what I have believed my entire life. I know that I could not possibly send a boy to a far away land, which is not the safest place in the world without knowing that someone who had a perfect visual of him would watch over and protect him and us every step of the way. There's a video that has surfaced on the internet of a mom that doesn't make it to the airport on time. It's is very touching and made me realize my turn is almost here. I can hardly wait until I see him step into my view. Will I run, will I freeze, will I know exactly what to do. All I can tell you is that I can hardly wait to wrap my arms around him and give him a hug.  A hug I have waited to do for exactly two years ago from the day we left him at the MTC to start this adventure.  March 16, 2011 was the last time I hugged that boy, who is now a man. Stay tuned...

 Love him so much, and thank heavens I think he really does love his mom!


He loves his area, Roatan.  Seriously, how could you not?
