Final Hours

So as I sit here in DC waiting for my new earlier flight I contemplate this amazing journey I have experienced these past five weeks.  I know I have grown as a teacher and a student and discovered more about myself.  I will miss my comrades, especially my other two Musketeers Alexis and Sarah.  We all parted ways to various destinations in the past five hours, but the memories and experiences I will take with me forever. 
I know I have become a better teacher and learned so much as a teacher in India.  I will miss all my students and colleagues at Loreto.  My mentor teacher Debatri taught me many things and I am grateful for her assistance and time.  I was sad to hear her grandfather passed away the morning I left Kolkata.  She is very close to all her family and is such a warm and welcoming lady.  I am sad that our awesome partnership ended on such a sad note.
As I am traveling these past two days, I miss the sights and sounds of India.  However, I will be very glad to get home to the kids and Bueno.  It will be nice to just rest a few days and not have to be anywhere.  I will have a few more posts to finish out this part of my blog in a day or so.
