Last night couldn't have been any harder for me. Leaving the kids was awful. No one held back the tears, we all just cried till it hurt. Its hard for me to talk about last night without shedding a tear. I miss them all so much already, I can't imagine the pain coming for me in the future. But i will come back no matter what it takes. I love them too much to not come back.
Last night was wonderful up until jack came up to me and told me that we only have ten more minutes. This is when i could not control my tears. I cried harder than i ever had before. I hugged everyone as tight as i could and told them that i will come back soon and not to worry. This ten minutes turned into more like an hour. All i could hear during this time was the sounds of people crying around me. The only words that could come out of my mouth were i love you. I just kept repeating it over and over again. I would never had stopped saying it if we didn't have to leave. When we finally had to get in the tuk-tuk i was holding the hands of about 9 different kids. I wish i never had to let go. The tuk-tuk started to drive and the kids holding my hands started to run. I was screaming i love you!
I might not be with them right now but they will forever be apart of my heart! The impact they had on me was incredible and has changed me forever. I know by the way the were crying last night that i too had made an impact on them. I am so happy to have had this experience and wouldn't take a second of it back.
Today, to boost up our moods, we had fun all day. This morning, we went the a restaurant called Frizz and had a cooking class. In the class we made spring rolls and a fish dish. They were both delicious! After, we went to the royal palace! The entire thing was so beautiful! Every last detail was perfect!
I will come back to Cambodia! If home is where the heart is then Cambodia is my new home! The children of Cambodia own my heart and nothing could ever change that!
Right now we are off to a movie! Thank you all so much for supporting me on this amazing journey!!! I love and miss you all!! <3
