Let's back track a bit
Here we were in Bangladesh enjoying a roof top lunch with our friends and counting down the days until we started our long journey home. I kept busy continuing to do accounts, cleaning up the house and making sure the boys bags were packed. Dad was recovering well and seemed to be back on his feet and walking 40 minute walks around the neighbourhood. It was a strange time that went very slowly, the excitement of being home in NZ with family and friends was exciting but I also enjoyed the slowness that time seemed to be going so we could really savour our last weeks here in Bangladesh.
Here's a little confession: This was the easiest pack up ever! All we had to do was sort our personal stuff and then each day I would put items on our table that were free for staff to take. The rest of our household items had been supplied to us from the mission and we are just so grateful to everything they have done for us to make this time here amazing. And here's the biggest confession, we just walk away and someone else cleans the house for us (we did pay them of course!) I absolutely love the staff here on the compound and they really did become like family. Saying goodbye to everyone was a sad moment as goodbyes always are but we know we will return one day (maybe for shorter stints). Our ties and roots with Bangladesh are certainly not over.
