My mother-in-law recently asked me if it was all worth it. This Le Cordon Bleu, Paris, husband-separating, thing. The answer across the board is yes.
For those that know me intimately however, know that there were some rough cracks over the past eight months. Times I wanted to quit. Spaces when the loneliness was too painful. And bumps that seemed too high to clear. But, my answer is still a qualified, yes.
The hard days were peppered throughout. Surrounded by mind-blowing, passion feeding, rapture filled moments. After all, you can not have downs without ups.
More events, stress, and experiences are yet to be had. Preventing an official reflection to be formed.
The time remaining in Paris will indeed be epic. Last practical. Final exam. And, of course, graduation.
The story is far from over.
Ton I'm so sorry it has not been easy for you these last eight months but remember nothing worth having especially if it is very special like this opportunity is easy. It for sure will ALL be worth it RIGHT? It is amazing all the places you have been to see and learn about the friends you have made not to say all that you have added to your cooking skills. You are a very deserving luck person that God has blessed. Your almost there HANG IN Love as always Auntie xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Tony...the only good reason for riding my bike up a hill is so I can ride down a hill. A little opposite from life's ups and downs but in the end it makes you enjoy the good side more fully than you might if we didn't have the not so good side. Enjoy these last moments to the fullest as they will last you a lifetime.
