Saying Goodbye

Old Irish Blessing

"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

shared by Ambassador Kristie Kenney on Mike Enriquez' Am Radio Program. Today is her last working day in the Philippines. I feel as if I'm losing someone dear, as if she knows me personally. But maybe because I admire her as a woman of substance, as a leader with a humbling inspiring aura, as an icon of empowerment and democracy.
