Leaving for Ukraine


We didn't go to bed until about 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and had to be up by 5:00 a.m. Jason's parents and sister, Denise, with her children, arrived shortly after 6:00 a.m. to wish us farewell. My parents and Leigh arrived shortly thereafter. My Dad and Leigh took us to the airport. It was horrible leaving Ashton, at least it was for us. He didn't shed a tear, but he knows where we are going and why. My parents stated that he has asked about us about why we had to go get "sissy" but he is doing great. We miss him terribly. I cried constantly - imagine that. We packed 2 suitcases and 1 large carry-on and a laptop bag - we are loaded down. Most of the "stuff" is food or things we will leave behind on the way home. Saturday was a very difficult day in all aspects - mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.


You won't believe how much our lunch cost in the JFK airport - $27.00. We had two small bottled waters, two ham sandwiches, and a side salad that was smaller than the palm of my hand! Jason said the salad tasted like grass, however he ate it because he said it was too expensive to waste.
