That is the question Ken and I have been asking each other as these last few days here in Congo draw to a close. Are we Leaving Home or Going Home?
We are
leaving something of ourselves behind again -just like we did fifty three years
ago. Life is indeed a pattern! We aren’t the young people we were when we left.
We have a small wish to stay or maybe even return someday. But as the saying
goes- “Time waits for no man”- or woman either! ;) Leaving is indeed “a sweet
sorrow!” Our hearts will always beat for this land where we grew up, this amazing land and people
we loved first.
However,
this time the departure is different! The secret of our leaving this time is
that it feels good. We are going
home- together! ;) The time to go
has come and in our hearts we know this is so. We have been blessed with a
great trip, experiences, and seeing old and new friends.
We will
travel home with new and lighter luggage-more memories!
Congo Memories
Lenore Murray 2013
Congo Memories are like friends
who have always been there -always.
Congo Memories are moments filled with dreams and wishes,
secrets, laughter from long ago, tears, and precious seconds treasured in our
hearts forever.
Congo Memories can help us
brighten our spirit and widen our horizons.
Congo Memories help us realize how we really
have measured up with the life we have lived.
Congo Memories are like a deck of cards that
always seem to come at us unexpectedly in a random beautiful pattern.
Congo Memories help lift our spirits and help
us see tomorrow in a brighter light!
Congo Memories give us something to live for
and look forward to.
Congo Memories are like a picture frame of
many, many pictures- a collage- that can instantly fill our life with joy!
Congo Memories are rituals where
we remember our mercury moments.
Congo Memories are always there
and give us reasons to enjoy life both now and in the past. They brighten our
dreams like stars on a dark Congo night.
Congo ….So now I know that the
greatest value of all of our moments in life- is when they become a memory!
Goodbye Congo! But not our Congo
Memories!
Love Ya! Me
