Worst Part of Eamonn's Visit to the U.S.A....
Yesterday when he left... for some reason that was harder than when I left Ireland... stupid ocean...
And of course the sad song lyrics to go with the sad boyfriend being really far away fun... Ah Eddie from Ohio... how I love them...
"There's a channel. There's a tunnel
you can sail by train, from the English coast
There's an ocean with no tunnel

JAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love JMU! :) I had such a nice time visiting H'Burg & all of the amazing people who live there. It is still a very happy & wonderful place. This trip was great because I got to spend a lot of time 1 on 1 with friends rather than just meeting big groups. It was so fabulous and really a very special trip. It was also REALLY nice to sing w/ folk ( Read more... ) -

I have cried a lot in the few weeks leading up to this day. I know that deep down I am so sad about leaving Ireland, but right other than a big nasty knot in my stomach I feel pretty much nothing.

(Untitled)
I have been out of L'Arche for a whole two days and so far I am ok. :) This gradual letting go of things before I go home seems to be helping a lot.

I went ( Read more... ) -

More Goodbyes
This has been a very emotional week. It has been full of joy and wonderful time shared with friends, but also having a bit of saddness knowing that soon I will have to part ways with all of the people I have been sharing my life with here. Today was my official community farewell. L'Arche Cork has a tradition of welcoming and saying goodbye to ( Read more... ) -
