It's hard to leave... teary eyes and sad looks. "Will miss you" is exchanged. Quick good byes and not turning back when leaving. Knowledge that some will be more grey haired when I see them next, some will be sprouting and in their teens...
Hopefully there will be happy faces and hugs when getting off the plane to compensate.
Now, last ride on the bike in the sun for this time.

The last three posts have really affected me... I think those of us who live a long way from home share so much, even though the places we have come from and the paces we live now are so far apart.
Safe travels, I hope everything goes smoothly.
THanks. I hope everything works out in the air.
and yes, I think we in the "diaspora" or how to refer to it do have quite a lot in common. Especially the guilt and the longing to be in both places at the same time....
then again, I am quite happy with my life too. It's not all black and white, but it's a lot of emotions coming back.
I agree with Cath. It all feels so familiar.
Safe travels!
Oh, I too hate the goodbyes, and I am afraid the guilt of leaving will never fully go away.
Hope the emotions are going back to normal now that you are back in your new home!
