Amy’s gone

It’s pouring rain in Tyumen today and that’s just fine with me, because it actually suites my mood. Amy left this morning for America (via Moscow and London) and I’m really sad. I’ve been keeping myself really busy today which has been good for me. I really struggle with letting myself experience lots of sad emotions. Amy and I cried together quite a bit on Tuesday this week and then again on Friday – actually I don’t remember ever crying that much in my entire life. I cried when my parents drove away the weekend before I moved to Russia -- it's so hard to say good-bye to those you love. Sheesh. I can’t imagine what it’s like for Jesus to love all of us so much and to be separated from us (John 19 – He leaves His mother).
