FutureSister2009 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi LC I don't think we've met yet. But on a different note........ I GOT A CARD FROM MY SISTERS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy and it was so unexpected. The Convent is still being renovated so it's not ready for Retreats yet sadly but they're doing well and they miss me! And of course I miss them! And they thanked me for the can opener! Well my day has been made. I'm very happy, but still sad since I do miss them a lot. But I feel better knowing I heard from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm tracking my friend's flight to England and she is over the Atlantic. She should be in London in 4 hours! I am so excited for her, but I'm praying for her to get there safely because she is a VERY nervous flyer. They just flew over Newfoundland a little while ago and are on a straight path headed for the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargaretTeresa Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I got correspondence from the Nashies (their usual little mail out) and PCCs (An actual letter, with suggestion of maybe setting up a visit... oi!)!!! Yay! (But figuring out how to get to the FSP in Alexandria and/or StL is taking precedence right now... oi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I haven't heard from her personally, so I don't know how she fared on the way over there, but I tracked her entire flight last night as it made it's way across the Eastern US coast and then over the Atlantic. They made good time and landed 20 minutes earlier than scheduled. I just got some pictures printed since we had some taken with my digital camera on Tuesday night before she left. One was of me and her, and then we had one taken with our pastor. She asked me to email them to her, which I did, but she didn't have time to have them printed, so I got her copies and I'm sending them over along with a "Thinking of You" card and a "Thank You" card since she gave me a book. I miss her so much already, but I know that God is calling her there for a reason. Edited September 22, 2011 by MaterMisericordiae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, I won't be too far behind (God-willing), but it's hard letting go of your friends. I can only imagine the difficulty of separation of parents from their children. If friendship partings hurt, think how badly parents ache when their child flies the nest. My mom is trying to be really supportive and strong, which I admire, but I know that she is going to have a difficult time when I do finally fly the nest. She struggled when my younger sister left for college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
