grateful in seattle
the saying holds Truth -- distance DOES makes the heart grow fonder.
i've been gone from seattle for more than 5.5 months to return this past week for two weeks of rest, relaxation and a lot of catching up with family and friends. one week has eclipsed. another, will be savored until my departure to phnom penh on the 26th.
the day after my arrival, rajana society thru a special khmer conversational group (kcg) in which i was the special guestspeaker. in near freezing weather, i felt the warmth and tingly jitters by the love of old friends reunited in one space and time.
"its great to see that you have not changed," smiles one friend.
"you still have the same goofy humor and quirky personality that we all love about you," adds the voice of a childhood friend.
on a deep chill saturday afternoon like today, its hard not to get sentimental to these comments.
