This family has been our family for 5 years. The very first day we moved to this neighborhood from across town they called us over for tea. And we've been together non-stop since!
Saying goodbye is brutal!!

| Half of the family is in other places, but our hearts are knit together. |

| Our iftar meal. My dear friend made some of my favorites! |

| It is Bulent's birthday. It's nice to have something to celebrate among the sadness. |

| One of the Lord's best gifts to me here! |
Our 5 years in this apartment have been full of joy and tears, laughter and bickering, food and fun. This is the longest I've lived in any place since my family moved at the end of my eighth grade year. No one is more surprised than me to realize how comfortable we are here. In those early years, I could never imagine that we'd ever achieve comfort or be able to just relax and be ourselves.
That's happened here.
And now we are ready for new things. Uncomfortable things. Adventures. Challenges. New highs and new lows. The Lord is good and He is drawing us out. We're excited for this next step!
