T minus 40 hours

Hello again everyone, The time has almost come, we are 2 sleeps and a wakey or 40 hours away from boarding our plane out of the Middle East. The time cannot pass quick enough. I am just trying to kill a little more time then head off to bed, and tomorrow we have a relatively busy day ahead of us, that is a good thing for sure. Just sitting here chatting with Lana for the last 30 minutes or so, I have been reflecting on my time away. It has been valuable, not just because I have missed my family dearly, but because of the relationships I have made, most of them I have mentioned in previous blog updates. My time away has helped me understand life better, why we are here and the job we have been put here to do, now I'm not talking about a spiritual spin, but just us as human beings on earth. Maybe not making any sense, but it does to me. I have seen allot over the past six months, ten months if you count my in between time, I have definitely grown older and wiser. My only wish is that I can take what I have gained here and bring it home and use it positively, again, I'm being very vague, but it's because there is so much diversity to a trip like this to pin point a few things, there are so many. My goal is to be a much better person after this and in my opinion, I'm on my way, and I don't mind saying that!!
So, this will likely be the last from this part of the world, I will certainly post again from home with sporadic updates about the family and developments. Thank you all again for following me on my journey, and that it has been a journey not to be forgotten. Looking forward to seeing many of you upon my return to Canada. Till next time...
