A Sad Day

Today was the second of the mass exodus' and my heart is hurting. (about 75 people this week left the ship) This is by Far the hardest part of living in this community. I've only lost about four really good friends - but then there are so many other faces and friendly acquaintences that just enlarge the feeling and make it really hard and bad. I'm listening to the Amelie soundtrack. If you're ever in a down mood, I'd suggest number 4, 17, and 9. They fit excellently. I'm excited for this feeling to go away - the sail, hopefully, starting on Friday will be a superb remedy. May His grace and comfort be sufficient and satisfying for us all.
