This side of Hong Kong is truly a transient world. Families are continuously coming and going. Everyone's question is "how long have you been here?" Yesterday, Tyson had to say goodbye to a very good friend. His dad works for Disney and they are headed back to Florida after a few years here in Hong Kong. I've had the pleasure of getting to know his mom briefly and would have loved to gotten to know her more. Maybe we'll get to Florida someday to visit this friend found in Hong Kong.
Tyson and Jack are very similar in many, many ways...he met him through school as he was in his class this year at HKIS. Tyson is very sad to see Jack leave, even though EVERYONE is leaving right now, it is hard knowing Jack isn't coming back in the fall. My "consoling effort" to the kids is this... (and I truly believe it, so that helps) God puts people in our lives with a purpose. Sometimes they stay in our lives forever, sometimes they impact our lives in a brief moment, but never forgotten...some for a few years and we may never hear from them again, etc. We need to realize how blessed we are to meet so many new people, have so many great friends in our lives and not let our location determine what the future is with those friends. We are truly blessed and thankful people...
