When I sat down with my lovely hostmom last September and agreed on, once again, being her children's English teacher, homework help, and most of all, a big sister, the month of June 2015 seemed so so far away. And now it's June. Time passed in a flash, again, and now I'm finding myself 2 weeks away from stepping on board of that airplane that's taking be back to Germany. This time I do know for sure I'm coming back, that round trip is booked, yet I am also aware that I will be back as a atudent and not as an Aupair. I will be living by myself, finally buying my own food and preparing meals. And I am so looking forward to having the freedom of inviting friends over and coming home late at night opening up the apartment door with a key! Haha. The biggest loss though will be the absence of Amy and Rex in my everyday life. The two of them are like family to me And we also are as close as family should be. So will I miss Amy asking for me to shower her? Yes. And will I miss Rex' random hugs? Of course. But I think it is a good time for us to all start off new, knowing that the other person will still be there, only a phone call away. I need to let go, I know, yet I know it will be hard for me letting someone else take care of my munchkins. Yet I know and tell myself everyday that the two new Aupairs we chose will do great and will love the kids. And after all, I can always come back in my free time to be with the kids or have them over at the new apartment for some quality time. In the end, I want them to know that I am always gonna be there for them, no matter where we all go and eventually end up. Because family never really grows apart.
