Hello again, goodbye too

Well, it has been a few days ~ my excuses include a scammed computer, multiple services this week and general de-centralized-church weariness.

Today I re-greet you.

And today we say goodbye as we put a daughter on a plane.

As Covid-chaos was unfolding in Madrid, our middle daughter returned to Oregon in mid-March. She quarantined in Portland, thanks to her auntie and then returned to Silverton. Not part of her overall plan but what is these days?

Taking her leave this time, the destination is graduate school in London.

We have watched daughters go on many adventures. Many goodbyes. But sending her on her way today, under the circumstances and currant restrictions, is especially difficult.

Anxiety. Questions. Concerns. What-ifs.

All the while, I know that for her, London holds hopes and dreams.

We will take her. And leaver her off at the airport. And keep on praying.

And keep on praying.
