Let me tell you
- Sometimes when I am in public I wonder why people aren't staring at me. Don't these people know who I am and who I represent?! Then I look down and remember that I am not wearing my tag. Part of me dies a little inside
- I drove in the car all by myself and freaked out for a minute, then I turned up the music and enjoyed the ride
- When I started unpacking my luggage, I cried. Not sure if it was tears of joy and accomplishment or realizing that the part of my life will never happen again
- I do happy dances anytime I hear one of my old favorite songs
- I have refused to get in a skirt since
- I shake hands with everybody and they just stare at me
- I answer the phone by saying, "Hello this is Sister Thomas"
- I actually believe that having someone back the car up is a good idea
- Facebook overwhelms me but I can't seem to walk away from the computer
- I keep forgetting that I can do my laundry whenever I want and not just once a week
- I don't respond when people call me Grace and sometimes I even get a little annoyed they didn't call me Sister Thomas
- One night I slept in my coat because I was so cold. I miss the Florida weather!
- I freaked out whenever someone asks what my "plans" are? Life overwhelms me. I don't like thinking about myself.
Thanks so much to everyone for all the support and prayers, the last 18 months. I truly appreciate it.
Stay tuned for new adventures and watch my beautiful life unfolds before me.
Now I am a new and improved Grace, trying to make a difference in the world, and finding my place in it.

I hope you wrote this on p-day. lol Welcome home.
I like Will's comment. :-)
I was going to mention. The first few letters you wrote home you mentioned it was weird being called Sister Thomas, It seemed like you would have preferred people calling you Sister Grace Thomas. But now you miss it. It's crazy how a mission changes you.
