Last thoughts

I have one week left here in Bosnia. It's hard to believe that my experience here is so close to the end.
Yesterday was our last day at the centar with all the kids. We played games and had water balloons and watermelon for them as a last little treat.
It was sad to say goodbye to the kids. Many of them had come to the centar almost everyday that we had activities for them.
One girl even took the time to write us all a little goodbye message in English. It was really sweet.
People here always joke about marrying us off or us finding Bosnian boyfriends. Even at one of our last meetings with the centar staff they asked us if we had fallen in love. I thought it was a funny question, but then I realized that I had fallen in love. I have fallen in love with Bosnia and its people. It is such a beautiful country, so green and mountainous and full of beautiful blue rivers. The people here have been extremely welcoming and they always seem to put my needs before their own.
Leaving Bosnia will be hard. It is not something I look forward to. Part of me really does not want to leave. I have built lasting relationships here and even have my own Bosnian family. But I know I will be back one day. I do no know when, but I will have to come back to this place that has taken a piece of my heart.
I have so much to share with everyone, these blogposts have barely even grazed the surface of my experience here. It will take time to share everything and at times it may be difficult for me to truly explain my experience here properly, but I look forward to doing it. And I hope that when I do share everything with you, it will inspire you to come to this wonderful country and get the chance to fall in love with it too.

See you all soon!!! :)
