Time To Say Goodbye

Our pastor preached his last sermon this morning, and then was honored and roasted tonight. It was emotional and funny at the same time, but in the end, leaving the church tonight was hard...knowing we will probably never see him or his family again.
Danissa withheld her emotion, as normal, until we got into the car and then bawled the entire way home. Ethan said it was okay because"he still loves Pastor John and Pastor John still loves him". But just hearing Danissa crying the backseat made me cry all over again. We wish Pastor John and his family the very best but it is so hard to let them go.
