God Be with You Till We Meet Again

It hurts to say goodbye to a friend, knowing an ocean will separate us from here on out. Grace, I will always thank God for that day six years ago when you, Jennalyn, and I met in the hallway of the dorm.  What memories we three have made together! Ice skating, Christmas tree cutting in New York, singing hymns during the ride to church every week when we were in college, late night conversations, phone calls to catch up on each other's news, trip to the Memphis Zoo to see the pandas, graduations, and the list of wonderful memories goes on. I'm glad the panda socks, panda hat, and panda coffee mug will be returning to Korea with you.  An ocean and thousands of miles will separate us, and the pictures of three will be two for the first time in six years, but no distance is too great for kindred spirits. You have made my life brighter, better, and infinitely more fun and filled with laughter. My heart aches to see you go, but you will be remembered every single day. We will see each other again. I love you, dear friend. 

God be with you till we meet again;
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again.
