Tearful farewell...

The last few days in Korea flew by and before we knew it, we were boarding our plane ready to fly home. Packing lasted till about 11pm and we were up at the crack of dawn at 5am to catch the early airport limousine bus. We were planning on catching the 7am bus, but we were early enough to catch the 6:25am bus. After an hour or so drive, we made our way into Incheon airport and found our way into the massive ticket line. Fortunately we qualified for the family care line and only had to wait a few minutes before checking in our bags. Due to the large number of people at the security gate, we decided against trying to have a final breakfast together and began to say our goodbyes in a rather rushed fashion in the security line. The tears started flowing from everyone at that point. Words can't express the sorrow I saw in their eyes at having to watch our family leaving them. It was a great 2 weeks of sightseeing, family meetings, and just spending time together. It's amazing how attached they got to HannahKate and it hurt to think that they may not see her again for several years. In Jonathan's 6 years, he's only seen them twice... Hopefully we'll find a way to visit Korea again or convince my mother to fly again (deathly afraid of flying).
