Wayne should be landing in Hong Kong just about.... NOW.
So is he leaving home, or going home?
My friend talks with her 5 year old about transition from Hong Kong to their new Ohio home on a blogpost called Where We are Right Now
She talks about loving two places... and it's true. I love Wisconsin, the cool night temperatures, Lake Michigan, cherry pie, trees, trees, trees. Wisconsin is where my sons are attending university, where my 87 year old mom lives, where friends and relatives are (or come to visit), where people still go to church on Sundays and stay for coffee and conversation.
But I also love Hong Kong. I love the dim sum and the hotpot, the hustle and bustle, the international friendships, hikes in the mountains, the cheap mass transportation (see my previous blogpost for more on that!) and my work at the Lutheran Seminary and the Primary School.
I love Wisconsin and I love Hong Kong, but right now Hong Kong is winning out, because that's where my husband is and that's where my work is, so in three more weeks, after getting eldest son off to the airport for South Korea (yup, Korea!) and youngest son off to his first year at University of Wisconsin - Osh Kosh, I'll be coming home to Hong Kong.
As this great song by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's puts it: (click on the link)
or, as the Bible puts it:
"...whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God..." -- Ruth's words to Naomi in the Book of Ruth
