The first set of goodbyes are over...but consequently, they were the hardest. My brother and all my other amazing friends from the Blue team hit the road this morning, leaving me crying behind. Knowing they were leaving so soon hasn't really affected me that much over the past few days, but this morning the full reality of who was leaving hit me and left me an emotional wreck. A wreck, which I continue to be to this moment.
In a sense, I'm glad to be on "this side of the goodbye," but I'm still going to miss my wonderful brother, and the other three individuals on that team who have made the past few weeks here some of the most wonderfully memorable of my life. But I guess you have to say goodbye...before you can have the happy reunion. So, on with the show.

And, oh, how I love those reunions.
Hugs to you, my dear! I miss having you close to home. God bless!
It is always harder to watch the other teams drive away, it is much easier to be the team leaving. You still have a little while left at camp, right? Anyway, hang in there, it gets better!
i know EXACTLY how you feel...i was the same way my first year when the blue team left (why is it that they seem to always be the first team leaving??). i was an emotional wreck, too. but believe me, once you hit the road you'll be like "blue team who?" j/k. but the distractions of road life will keep you from dwelling on it. oh, and, it gets easier every year you travel. i don't think i cried at all when the teams left my third year
you get used to saying goodbye, i guess.
I feel your pain. It does get easier when you get on the road. Throw yourself into spending time with your teammates. And look on the positive side: at least you have your sis for another week.
Hey Kel! How was Chicago? I hope you guys had a wonderful time seeing the city! Have a wonderful day! I love you and miss you, girl! Praying for you!
