A prayer on a plane, moving many miles above the earth.

I thought this day would never come. Yet here I am, on the plane. I tried so hard, all those times, to imagine: what would this feel like? (Papa, is there a reason you put me next to this self-absorbed fella?)
Ireland. I'm going to Ireland!! ah!
God, I know I'm going to miss my mom and dad and sisters and dog and friends and everything here a lot - but help me to focus on what's now. here.
The sun has already begun to set. And I'm glad my wish didn't come true - I'm glad time kept going. Papa God, I trust you. And I'm so thankful. So blessed by a loving family and truly wonderful friends who I'm going to miss. But thank you, God for all those gifts - missing means that there was something good.
Good bye Seattle. I'm still so amazed that this is actually happening. I love you, Lord.
