The events and milestones I miss in the lives of family and friends The opportunities I know I might not get The community that moves on The parents that age while we are away The resources we could have access to The friends my kids could've had The vibrant church community we are missing The celebrations we could've had The friends we could've done life with

Friends, it's heavy. Saying yes to a life overseas means knowing that there's a life we could've had, that we are missing out on.
