The Courage to Let Go: Embracing New Normals

3 Questions for Processing the Realities of Cross-Cultural Going + Sending
The night I said my “see-ya-laters” to most of my family, my dad gathered us all around a campfire to process together. He came prepared with a sheet that included three questions for each of us to answer (no matter if your role was a sender or sent-out one).

Included below are answers from different family members.

My heart has been in love with the mountains since I was a little girl when I first visited my grandparents in the Tetons. My cousins, sisters, and I would play for hours in a treehouse that gramps built among the pine trees. Bears would wander through the front yard and one time Grandma even shoed off a bear with a broom since it was eating bird seed in the front lawn.
