I’m avoiding writing this post because it means that my days in Laos are getting smaller by the day. Today was the final day at LAC and we celebrated with the people that have made this trip a wonderful experience. There are things I want to say that simply cannot be formed correctly nor elegantly enough. There is an impending feeling of doom that only comes with knowing that these are my last few days. I hope I have done enough and given enough that there are proud people that have been reading along. It’s been an amazing trip and I know that I will be back.

I will surely miss the sights and sounds and people that have come into our lives so gracefully and have changed us for the better. Our teachers and the staff at LAC, our friends and family, and Lung Xuan -  I hope they all know that we are grateful for their friendships, support and  love. This feeling is why I keep coming back to Laos and I hope that all know that they will forever be a part of our lives. I leave this country a better person because of everyone that have crossed our paths.

Ake, Ryan, and Sack – Thank you thank you thank you for being there for me always during our time together in Laos and for your friendships. I feel really lucky to have been surrounded by such amazing people. I will miss seeing your faces everyday and the crazy antics that only we can create together. The road does not end here for us and I am positive that each and every one of you will do amazing and great things both in the States and in Laos.

Lastly, thank you all of you that have been reading. Thank you for supporting me and please support CLS and the wonderful things it can offer.
