Brent and I have been very luck in many ways. We have both had an opportunity to do meaningful work and, in our current jobs, we are surrounded by great people. Both of us have been able to touch hundreds of lives and hopefully make a positive impression on at least a few of those people and we’ve both forged meaningful relationships with the people that work with us. As we draw closer to the beginning of our orientation class (the start is just a little over two weeks away now), Brent and I are in the midst of the letting-go process. We’re handing over our workloads and helping our supervisors identify our successors. And we’re trying not to think about the final good-bye, although it’s hurtling towards us at an alarming rate. We’re both ridiculously excited about our future and this great adventure, but it’s hard to say good bye to aspects of our lives that have really defined us for so long.

I am sharing this because letting go is not an insignificant part of this entire process. For some people and situations it may be easier than others. For us, it will be difficult. But, it’s time to go. We have been blessed in our respective situations and we look to the future with the hope that our luck with hold out and we’ll meet more amazing people that we can’t imagine having done without in our lives! And to all of those who have meant so much and have been such and integral part of our daily routines, we will miss you incredibly and will carry you with us in our hearts.
