How to say goodbye in Africa part 2

Well the first part was just to give you an idea that I still really don’t have much of an idea, but I am learning. I don’t think there ever will be a time, anywhere in the world where saying adieu will be a piece of cake or pie or truffle, well you get the idea. I have been trying to squeeze all my last visits with friends since last Friday, and it has been a bit challenging. I have learned that if you don’t tell people in advance that you are coming to say goodbye, then you have to set up a formal time to meet again, to really say au revior. Which in my scheduling to the limit can be complicated. But I have appreciated the kindness and genuine sadness people have shown. It encourages me to know that they will miss me. I surely will them! This is another reason to thank God for prayer, because it fits as a fitting and wonderful way to say goodbye. And why not, God is what brought us together, let Him be the one to watch over our separation.
