Aloha!

Sunday was Ryan's last day here, and definitely did not seem like a Sunday. He had friends visiting to say good-bye ALL afternoon and night. There was lots of laughing, singing, and music all this time including last week. He was supposed to be organizing his stuff and getting packed, but he didn't actually pack until Sunday night. He spent part of the day making piles of things that were spread all over the family room. He did get his home teaching finished, and some places to say goodbye to people. When the people were gone, he threw the piles into the suit cases. We all went to bed at 12:30, which includes people who didn't help pack. Come 6 o' clock in the morning, those friends that were there on Sunday returned to say good bye at the airport. They followed us to SFO, and waited as Ryan was about to go through security, and then sent him off with a song, "I'll Be Right Here Waiting For You". Claire, Evan, and Kathy said good-bye at the curb and headed to McDonald's for breakfast. News from Greg and Ryan, he's all set up, and alone. He gets a room to himself. He's a happy boy. School started today-Wednesday, June 25th. Aloha Ry, we love and miss you.
