We have gone from 4 1/2 months to 6 days. I can't believe it is here---time to finish up the packing, organize the farewell lunch, prepare the farewell talk and prepare to say goodbye at the airport! It is very surreal. Some days I'm too busy to really think about what lies ahead and then it will just hit me-out of the blue-that my boy is flying around the world to teach the Gospel. Many people have asked me how I'm feeling--my answer just about every emotion you can feel, well except for anger...I'm not angry or mad!! I am excited, happy, sad, worried, nervous, anxious, frazzled, the list goes on!! It sortof feels like we are on a roller coaster ride--just buckling up for the ride. All of that anticipation is sometimes overwhelming and too much. I think Zach is ready--he says he gets nervous, but I think that is normal!! His friends write and tell him that he is going to love it and it is hard at first but it gets better. I'm so grateful for his friends who have prepared the way for him. I know he is going to be an amazing missionary--it's just going to be so tough to say goodbye and let him go. How do Mom's do this??
