My new nieces sending their love

Sad Day
So I'm sitting in the Santo Domingo Airport on my way back to the States. It was very hard to say "see you later" to my new family and of course, despite how hard we tried, we could not hold back the tears. As much as I would love to stay here and continue to work with the loving students of the Dominican, I have to get back home to work with the students and people who love me in the US. It's good to know that I have a new family with countless new brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews who are ready to welcome me back as soon as I get the chance to get back on a plane.
Although my work in the Dominican is done, for this summer, I'm going to continue to update this blog from time to time. I want to use it to show my new friends and family in the DR my lifestyle in the US as well as keep everyone posted about my plans to return.
I love you all and thanks for taking the time to read and I hope you all learned a little something through my blog.
Nos vemos,
~d
