Today was a day filled with list checking, room organization, diy projects and quality time with friends. Joe and Julie are in town for a few days, and it was so unbelievably awesome to see their smiling faces this afternoon. We spent a few hours catching each other up on our lives. I realized as we were talking how much their friendship meant to us.
Most of the community they were a part of has left. Our first team of girls left a week after Joe and Julie. Another family who is on a big long trip left in January. Of the nineteen people who were part of that community, only nine are left. We’ve added new members, but the core group that became such a vital part of our first few months in Granada are mostly gone.
It’s part of life, this moving on, and it never fails to make me sad. But for now, I will enjoy these two days with friends. Laughing for most of it, and enjoying their stories.
