incomplete.

it is a strange feeling, being in another country and away from the people i care about most...  in the midst of seeing some of the greatest things, exploring another country and learning about myself, i still feel incomplete without these people by my side. 

the majority of them i will see when i return to the states. but then there are the few special friends i know i will not see for a very long time. these friends i have already said goodbye to before leaving school, but who i still want to be with for as long as possible... i keep thinking of them, keep feeling like they will walk by at any moment. but they are already gone. i think about them often, i look at their pictures on facebook, i relive memories in my mind, and hope for ways we can stay in touch while we are apart. and i hope too for the day we are reunited again. 

so tonight... 

i send my love. my heart goes out to you. 

i send my words of encouragement. i believe in you. i support you. 

i send my prayers. for comfort. for peace. for wisdom and guidance. 

i send my hugs. you are not alone. 

i send these things to you, dear friend. 

missing you and thinking of you often, 

your friend, 

brittney.
