It's hard to believe that the time is here for you to leave. I'm envious of you, really. It's going to be the start of a new chapter in your life. What an adventure! Just think, you can go over there and reinvent yourself, although you are perfect the way you are! Think of all the new experiences you will have. It won't hurt that you are a beautiful American woman, men will be flocking to you!
I think you should start a journal and let us live through you vicariously!
Hugs and best wishes, Yoyo
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
