Was sagst du zu deinem neuen Profilbild auf Google+ ? Damit du uns auch immer mit deiner Lieblingspose in Erinnerung behälst ;)! Wir haben dich vor genau 30 Stunden verabschiedet und es kommt uns schon jetzt so vor, als hätten wir dich ewig nicht gesehen, aber wie dein neues Kulitatoo sagt: "Friendship survives Distance". Wir freuen uns, dass du gut und sicher zu Hause angekommen bist und wir hoffen, dass du dein erstes deutsches Frühstück genossen hast (Guck mal, Brööötchen! Mit Körnern!). Unsere Zeit zusammen in Kanada war unvergesslich und wir freuen uns schon darauf oft mit dir zu skypen (wenn Gioia ihr iPad Problem gelöst hat).
Weil wir so stolz auf unseren Text sind von Gretas Abschiedsgeschenk, müssen wir ihn kurz mit all ihren Bloglesern teilen ;)
dear greta.
This is our first goodbye, but it wont be the last one. Goodbyes are hard, but its never a goodbye forever. When you are scared, sitting with tears in your eyes in the airplane and when we have to watch a part of us leaving then dont think about the pain. Think about your memories. The feeling to sit in the sun at riverside park, just happy to exist and to be with the girls, whose names you didnt know a week before that. To be the loudest and greatest group at Hall Rogers, the taste of your first hot chocolate at Tim hortons. A small hot chocolate and a chocolate dip, or a chocolate chip muffin ? The feeling to see your school for the first time in reality and not on google maps. The moment when you forget a word of your native language, because you only remember the english word. We didnt need the same language, the same haircolor, the same taste of music. We fit. It is just like the pieces of a puzzle that found together. Can you imagine Canada without selfies ? Selfies are a difficult topic, but you learned how to take one...right ? ;) Canada is the sound of laughs. Laughing about stupid jokes or just a funny memory that comes again in our heads. Canada is thinking. Every single step was new and an adventure. Every second a new experience. Thinking, worring and making decisions. Decisions that let you grow.
Canada is knowing the bus schedule. The 16 is coming every hour. 3:30 or 4:30? :) Yes. We let you go. But only because we know that friendship survives distance, no matter if it's 10 meters or 10.000 kilometres. You will never loose your unicorn blood. Canada was leaving everything you knew and going to an unknown world. Canada is leaving what you learned to love and go back. Canada is Tim Hortons, going to the mall, the YMCA, Kamloops, the wildlifepark, superstore, london drugs, skittles, hot chocolate, high school musical, hockey, basketball, timbits, donuts, blizzard, booster juice, vancouver, skiing, curling, cinnamon buns, paper with three holes, snowshoeing, yellow school buses, finding yourself, warm shower, feeling your feet, the feeling of first snow, the bus stop at subway, Hall Rogers, schunkeln, bath and body works, Harry potter, living, enjoying, GAP, onesies, Maple syrup. Canada is smiling. Canada is us. Greta. Canada is you.
