I already miss...

... the joys of a hundred orphans running around camp.
... the peacefulness and tranquility of a camp all to ourselves.
... seeing Campbell ride his bike around, "working on camp", and being independent.
... conversations with Tanya.
... hearing Andrey laugh at his own jokes.
... watching Campbell and Andrey yell at each other across camp in Russian.
... Luda's borsch.
... shashlik and banya at Sergey and Rita's.
... watching the guards break a smile as Campbell comes to hang out.
... lil' Sergey and Misha coming over to our internet cafe.
... our humble little home, where our guests sit on our bed to watch football games.
... hearing Russian.
... ears being blown out when I start the car after Jenya's been driving.
... that great feeling of when the lights and water come back on.
... working on the camp... or just hanging out with Matt while he does the work.
... the sea.
... sitting on the porch looking at the trees and feeling the peace of God when life doesn't make sense.
... being a part of programs that change people's lives.

2 hours before we leave. I was wrong Tanya... it's not like when I said goodbye before coming to Ukraine the first time... it's worse. We love each and everyone of you here in Ukraine. You are our family.
