Sunday morning, I had to pull myself from bed (I’d turned in quite late the night before). We had to hurry to get to church on time but we made it, after church we stopped at Mc Donald’s for lunch for one last fast food fix for me. After lunch we finally got home, I was in the mood to do nothing or just play some calm games.
I got kind of frustrated because Dad wouldn’t stop vacuuming, sweeping and washing the floors, on Sunday! At the same time Mom was encouraging me to go outside and play with the little ones while the snow lasted (I did not want to go outside…). She finally shooed me out of the house and I started an energetic game of hockey on our ice rink (that we created by pouring water on the blacktop during the freezing weather) with the siblings. After awhile Gaëtan (a friend from church) came out to watch us, I was a little surprised to see him but just thought he was passing by. A little while later David and Tabitha (friends from Valenciennes, a half hour drive from us) came out… now that was kind of strange!
I found out later, Mom had invited friends of mine to say goodbye. We ended up having more than twenty people : my family, my uncle and aunt (with their children, in other words my cousins) David et Tabitha Reihl, Gaëtan Lanthier, my former music teacher Philippe Vercruysse, Jacques Soufflet (a friend of the family), David Edouart (another friend from Valenciennes), Alvin et Valérie Kajé (friends from my church), Papy, Nathan Phillips (a friend that works with BLF Europe), Lucile Ribue (a friend from high school) and four friends from the church of Lambersart ; Stéphanie and Grâce Pira, Anne Debœuf and Adeline Bozzone. I was even able to see François Corder who dropped by to say hi (and bye)! (a friend from high school who’s started his first year of premed)
It was an awesome surprise before my departure on Tuesday morning!
