Adios Jacqueline

Marc and I dropped Jacqueline off at the airport yesterday. It was a sad day having to say goodbye to my baby sister after having her around for more than 5 months.

A big hug for big sister!

It is going to be very strange not to have her around (when she was actually around)....No one to chase out of bed in the morning, not to hear her beautiful voice or see her smiley happy face. Not to mention all the help around the house cooking dinner, making us tea at night etc. etc. She was a great house guest, "the best"...She'll be missed!

A very teary eyed goodbye...

Along with the 15kg that she lost in India, all the old clothes that doesn't fit, toiletries that she didn't have space for in her suitcase, I also think she left behind a piece of her heart. She really and truly loved her experience and was very sad to say goodbye to India, Marc and I, great friendships, her local auto driver, the kids from Christel House School, the orphans and aids patients that she worked with, that touched her heart.

In turn all of us will sorely miss her generous, friendly, kind hearted, light spirited attitude and she has many notes and gifts from the children, sms's from locals that proves how much she has in fact touched their lives.

Marc made sure that everything was in order with her itinerary before we gave her one last wave goodbye.
