Saying Goodbye

This week we experienced our first goodbye of us leaving Thailand in June.  Unexpectedly, Goma, our nanny, got a call from Myanmar that her brother was very sick and she needed to come home.  Like that, we bought her a plane ticket and she was gone.

I am comparing the experience to ripping a band aid off FAST.  There is really no time to process and life has to move on.  We all loved Goma so much. From being my "wife" to Liam's "Ma", she really became a part of our family.   She will be working for a new family in the community we currently live in and we are Facebook friends.  We will keep in touch, but I hope she understands how special she is to us.
