Three suitcases propped open and packed, I contemplated what to do next... as I stood there mulling, two little girls came upstairs and knocked on the door, "Lish, can you come downstairs with us?" Grateful for the break, I obliged. My mind felt like it had been playing extreme Tetris all day.
I walked into the kitchen- the air wafting of baked lasagna and cafe con leche. Chairs missing. Strange... but not strange enough to raise an eyebrow. I chatted with Danielle about the day and other random topics when Dave finally interrupted, "Lish, can you come in here?"
Following him into the front room, I turned the corner to- "Surprise!" Faces grinned, beaming at me, all dear friends that I know and love. They had gathered to say good-bye and fellowship together one last time. Carol made an incredible pumpkin cheesecake. Noura gifted me with a genuine silver necklace. Pictures snapped, capturing the moments.
I'm thankful for the fellowship. I'm thankful for the gifts and the givers. I'm thankful the surprise, I really love it, to be surprised... I love it so much I'm not even ashamed that I showed up in my exercise pants.
It was totally worth it.
