Saying Goodbye



Saying goodbye for the next  years was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do.. This last week I wasn't able to sleep or eat anything at all. It was so hard to think about him leaving for 2 years.
I decided to say goodbye before he was set apart as a full time missionary because I know I wouldn't be able to hold back the tears if I was there, and I didn't go to the airport either for the same reason, I didn't want everyone to watch me crying my eyes out the whole time. And I just had to give him a hug goodbye..
 And I posted the very last selfie we took before saying goodbye :'}
Luckily last night my super sweet friend Talia came over to spend the night with me and was able to stop the tears for a while. She also brought with her some treats for me! <3  And luckily earlier that day Travis took me to wal'mart to get me some ZzzQuil so I would actually get some sleep the first few nights of him leaving. He's seriously the sweetest guy you will EVER meet!!
Though today Travis actually left to go to the Argentina MTC! It's still hard to think about. But I do feel peace because I know he's doing exactly what he needs to be doing at this moment!
Also my very sweet brother Mckay was there when I got home from saying goodbye and was super sweet and gave me the biggest hug and words of comfort. Then tonight my amazing parents came over and cooked me dinner and cookies. (Even though it's still kind of hard for me to eat) I have also felt so much love and support from so many sweet friends and family members. It's overwhelming how much love I have received, I'm so extremely blessed with such amazing people and their support towards me.
I hope Travis felt that same amount of love when he left and I'm sure he did because his family are some of the most amazing people I've ever met. Even though this has probably been the hardest thing I've ever done I feel so much peace and excitement for Travis and his wonderful opportunity to serve and to live in Argentina for 2 years!

May the letters and emails for the next 2 years begin!!

I Love you Elder Cullum!
