Saying Goodbye

The month of February went quite quickly for us. We spent much of our time working around the house attacking our to-do list before Eric left. And believe it or not, we accomplished everything we wanted to do! When we weren't hard at work, the five of us sat and read or played games, savoring every moment together.On Sunday, February 26th, many people from our church and neighborhood came by to visit and say good bye to Eric. It was a bittersweet time - bitter to see him go and sweet to be surrounded with so many friends who support us. After everyone had left, Eric soon followed. Tuesday afternoon Eric's parents, the kids, and I headed off to see him one last time. Wednesday there were informational classes in the morning and free time in the afternoon. Thursday was the farewell ceremony and lunch followed by our last good byes.I've included pictures of some of our last moments together. If any of you would like to email Eric, I am sure he would love to hear from all of you. His address is: ericlspencer@gmail.com He also has a website of his own that will give updates on his travels over the next 12-18 months. As soon as I get the address I will post it here.
