Today Jawornik was a flood of tears.  Tears flowing from the flood of tears of heartfelt love for one another at the 2013 Jawornik English Camp (JEC).  Even I am not immune to this heartfelt emotional outburst of love for both new friends  and reunited friends.  In only 10 days, 8400 minutes, hearts and lives are joined together.

My hearts is more deeply intertwined with those counselors and students who have been apart of the JEC experience three years or more.  Several of my students this year have been in my class for four years.  Several Polish counselors have been a part of the JEC for all six years.  Every year our hearts and lives become more deeply intertwined.  I laugh when they laugh, I hurt when they hurt, and I cry when they cry.

Today, the flood of tears, is not good bye but God be with you till we meet again ... at camp next year, in America, or in heaven.

Good bye my friends, no scratch that, God be with you my friends, and I pray if it is His will we will meet again.

  1. It is always difficult to say goodbye or, until we meet again, when something so significant comes to a close. Like Lenny, I felt those emotions returning from our departure day last year. What a wonderful group of kids and adults!
