Another farewell...

I can't tell you how difficult it is to describe how sad I am to be leaving.

When I got here so many years ago, I would never have realised how connected I would be to such a warm community of people. Many times I have been humbled by the kindness of your hearts...

You’ve helped me through some difficult times, and shared the joyous times in yours. Some people judge their lives on what they do, others on who they are. I want my life judged on the friends I keep, and how enriched I am from just knowing you.

To see you here in front of me, the last time all together, is a picture I will treasure for a very long time.

So... until the next time we gather, my very dear friends, farewell for now.
