Despite a very long and tiring day yesterday, the girls got up at dark o'clock this morning...literally...5:00 a.m. ...to say goodbye to some friends they made this summer while watching the sunrise together. I have met these kids, and heard the stories about days spent with them...and so I too, have grown fond of them and I hope that after these summer days spent together become memory, they will be able to remain close.
Sunrises are the beginning of a new day....and so I hope that watching the sunrise together will be symbolic of new and lasting friendships. As the sun sets on their days of working together, I truly hope that the sunrise brings close and lasting friendships with some really good people.
In lots of ways this summer has absolutely flown by....it's been fun, busy....and often exhausting. But at the end of the day....and at the beginning.....I am thankful for the gifts the summer has brought us. No gift is as precious as friendship....and I am so glad the summer has blessed us with new friends.
"That time of day when the sun hasn't come up yet, but you can already feel it coming. It's an elusive warmth, like a subtle promise whispered in your ear and you can go on with your day knowing you've been given another chance to get it right."
