Well as some of you know and some of you may not know, i decided in Mid April to Leave the Peace Corps and return to the United States. This was a decision that was not entered into lightly. I agonized and agonized over this decision and it was the MOST difficult decision i have had to make to this date..... I miss my village tremendously ever day more than anyone could imagine.. I left behind an amazing group of people in my village as well as an amazing group of Friends and fellow volunteers back in Fiji as well.... It is easy to just sit and write words on a computer and claim that i feel this way but i assure you that not 1 day that has gone by since i have left Fiji that i don't think about the beautiful people and friends i left behind...... I miss my village, my dog, the ocean, the animals, the kids, the bus rides, the crappy Fiji Bitter beer and Bounty Rum. Yea i am sad in so many ways... Did i make the right decision? Time will tell.. i can only tell you that the reason i did leave was to come back to the United States to be with an amazing and beautiful woman. To spend another year without such an amazing person was just going to be too hard on me but on her as well.. I had 2 people to think about i guess....
I hope those of you who read this will understand and not think less of me.... I will never forget Fiji and fully intend to go back to see my people in my village one day as they had become like a family to me.... When i left Fiji i was the happiest i had ever been since i had arrived in Fiji... I didn't leave because i wasn't happy.. i have nothing bad to say about anything, my experience or the people there.... I had everything a human being could ever want there in Fiji.....
I will live with Fiji in my heart for the rest of my life... It is part of who i am now................
