Good Bye; People and things

After 5 years in Chiang Mai it`s time to say Good Bye. On Monday we will go to Sweden for 13 month. Once, in Bangladesh, we tried to avoid all these difficult Good Byes. But when our coworkers found this out that we were leaving, it became panic.
No, it`s better to learn to have good Good Byes, and also to have good Welcomes. Even if we have done this many times, still there are much more to learn how to best “take off” and to best “Land”. Many feelings, questions and worries wants so come in and be big burdens.
But, still it is valuable and good for us, as mission workers, to now and than say Good Bye to people and to things. The truth is: We will do well without many Good-to-have-things”. And the nationals will grow while we are away. Ingvar
