Over the past couple of years, El and I have had to embrace the harsh reality that people come and people go. Hong Kong is an amazing city, however many people don't often call it home forever. Others have come to serve the Lord on short trips and then some follow God to work in other places. Whatever the case, it's always hard. I know I know, as my mother would say.."That's life." but i secretly wish we could all stay in one huge flat complex together for the rest of our lives.
Here are a couple of families who've meant a lot to us, but have left in the last months..
The Bell's. Alan, Melissa, Jason and Danny. The Bell's relocated back to Texas at the end of last year and we miss them so much! Alan was the officiator for our Texas wedding and little Jason was our ring bearer! :)
The Rothermel's. Chris, Heather, Julia and Gabriella.
Although Chris is still here finishing out his contract at HKBU, Heather and the girls left for Georgia earlier this month. Great family who have been so good to us! They even threw us an engagement party and made our wedding cake!!
Lastly, The Franklin's. Jacob, Sara, Keely and Jordan. We've only had the privalege of knowing this family for about a year. They will be relocating to Taiwan at the end of this week. Jacob has been a huge leader to El and we enjoyed swimming with the girls! (Photos courtesy of all their FACEBOOKS!!)
We miss you families!! :) I don't know what Ellison's going to do when his BF Paul leaves in December...there will be major tears shed...

Going to miss you guys a ton, but at least we are still relatively close, right?
ReplyDeleteIf you even think that you've seen the last of the Bell Clan, you've got one more thing coming! We can't escape destiny. We shall return. :)
