I hate goodbyes, special if you know you don't see that person again for a while. Today 3 years ago i said
goodbye and stay save to you . We drove from Freiburg to Frankfurt to drop you off for your flight. It was a quiet drive, you sat in the back listening to your MP3 player, you where eager to get back and at the same time sad to go. You found out you loved Germany , even met a girl. You already made plans for the next time you would visit. Your grandfather was quiet, i know he didn't want you to go back. I can't even explain how i felt. I was subdued, and worried for you, anxious that you make your flight. The typical mother , always worried about something .
You and your brother always told me i worry to much.
When we made it to the airport we just dropped you off at the main entrance , none of us wanted a long goodbye, so we just hugged , told you save travels and get in touch when you could.
The drive back your grandfather and i barely spoke, both of our thoughts where miles away but i know both of us where thinking about you and what lay ahead , the dangers , the uncertainty.
I'm grateful that at the last minute i decided to join you on your holidays in Germany and that i got to see you again and to say goodbye, i just wish it wouldn't have been a goodbye forever (and i hope it is not)

I will go east and go west
From whence came
The moon and the sun
The moon and the sun will go
And the young man
With his reputation behind him
I will go wherever he came from -
The young man with his reputation behind him

Hope is your survival

I will find you
If it takes a long long time
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years

That was beautiful, Gabi. I know you miss your son so much. Beautiful Clannad tracks as well... I am sending you and your family my warmest thoughts of love and my sincerest wishes for peace.
It fills me with a great deal of grief for you and anger, because it shouldn't have happened. But I will not make this a political debate. It's a very unfair thing and it would make me scream and howl at the moon.
A big ole yellowdog hug for you.
Oh, Twain -now I understand that you and Gabi are the same person! Wanted to sary "thanks" for "the "follow"!
Saying goodbye -boy do I know about it! My brothers and their families, and in-laws live in Holland and my son lives in China. But we have to live where we ourselves are happy though! And I always come back to - that's where I live now.
Gabi, I forgot this -I saw on your side bar my (2nd)blog ART NOTES still is on "Firechasers" -I've written a post since then -I try to post another painting every week, and I don't know why this gadget doesn't do it's job!! (Needless to say, I'm hopelessly a-technical!).
