Dear friends and blog-followers,
I'm writing this feeling quite a lot of mixed emotions.
Sadness, fear,
Joy, gratitude,
and a heart filled with
love...
I'm so grateful for the friendships I've made here in Kiev.
I'm going to miss them so much.
In the next two weeks, as I prepare to move back to America for an undetermined time, I will blog about the different feelings I experience, and the people and things that have affected me on my trip.
Today, I want to say thank you to a very special person.
Petra, my sweet-naughty roommate who knows just how to push people's buttons and make them feel loved at the same time. I'm going to miss our Sudoku and Eli Stone times. I'm going to miss your muffins. I'm going to miss our honest talks–which leave me feeling either inspired, convicted, comforted, or challenged, yet always accepted. You've allowed me to be myself, bumps (or lack thereof) and all. You've laughed with me, cried with me, and been a mentor, a best-friend, and a true sister to me. You've been abundantly patient, unconditionally kind, and completely authentic in our friendship. I will never forget you, or be the same, because I knew you. Thank you for your love, your maturity, and your friendship. And thank God for bringing us together. Kiev–honestly, my life–wouldn't be the same without you.
I love you very much, and look forward to the time when our paths cross again, whether that be in Kiev, Slovenia, Africa, or LA. Wherever the Lord carries our gypsy hearts, you'll always be a part of mine.
До свидания, Моя подруга.
With all my heart,
Shaela
P.S.
Remember our 10-year agreement.
