I'm leaving the States

This week has gone by very quickly. it is very difficult to believe that in a few hours I will be boarding an airplane to return to Sweden.

I have spent the majority of the week with my little brother David. he has bought a rather large Christian bookstore. This means that I haven't spent as much time with f ex my sister and mother.

it's kind of funny but i haven't had a single pain in my stomache nor been depressed. Now I am nervous again. I have meetings to attend to and plans to take care of when I arrive back in Sweden.

I really wish that I could have stayed here in the States for at least another couple of weeks, but since my family is still in the States then I have to leave and get my but back to Uppsala.

The funeral for my paternal grandmother was very nice. I am glad that I got the opportunity to come and be a part of that. with my father, grandmother and two grandfathers being buried in the same place it gave me time to pay my respects and to reflect upon their lives.

one of the most important parts of this trip has been spending time with my 17 year old daughter. Me being so far away is really difficult for her. Today we actually talked about why she feels the way that she does about me. It was a very productive conversation. I felt much better after we spoke with each other.

well I guess that I will try to get som sleep so that I can get ready to board my plane.
