When it came time for me to leave, Gaby, Laura and Pablo walked me to the school where I was being picked up.
Along the way, I ran into Luis one last time. He hugged me tight and told me:
“No tenga miedo. Solamenta tenga fe.”
When my ride arrived, I said goodbye to Gaby. Her eyes were glistening, but she didn't cry. When Gaby told Pablo I was leaving, he just started saying "no" over and over again, and he refused to hug me. Laura hugged me and started crying - she kept crying for as long as I could see them.
I had to wipe my eyes as the car pulled away. I am really going to miss my Guatemalan family.
