I’m gonna miss her.

My sister leaves for Cameroon tomorrow morning. She and her husband joined the Peace Corps and we’ve been spending the last week trying to cram as much family time in before they are gone for two years.

“I think about the story of Job I heard in Carol Sharp’s Sunday school. How he sort of learned to lean into feeling hurt at the end, the way you might lean into a heavy wind that almost winds up supporting you after a while. People can get behind pain that way, if they think it derives from powers larger than themselves.”
