in some ways, this is a responce to hajijohn, but since it really is more inspired by his last post than a direct comment to it, i'm not putting in his comment section

*grin* I am looking forward to seeing you back as well. I speak from experience that it is nice to have someone in the community that you return home to that understands what a shock it is to come home. The culture shock of returning is often greater than the culture shock of being in a new place. The personal and spiritual changes that you have made are immense without you even realizing most of them. Katherine and I will be here for you, and will understand when the various emotions that you will inevitably feel hit. By the way, when will your arrival be? I would like to be there to greet you if possible. When I returned home after three and a half years abroad, my ride wasn't even waiting to greet me. I felt totally abandonded by all of the "friends" that I had been longing to see. Oddly enough I don't think I realized until right this very moment that I have never totally forgiven them for it. I didn't even have immediate family waiting for me. I guess that is a burden that I have been carrying that I will have to ask Baha'u'lla'h
