After my visit to Wat Louang. I had to hurry back for a quick breakfast before leaving for the airport. Most of my father’s relatives came to say good bye. There were some tears shed and many request for us to return to Laos in the near future. My parents said they will be back in 2009 in either January or February. The relatives were happy to hear that. They said two years is not so long.

Since the airport was less than 5 minutes from the house we were staying, we took our time. My father’s best friend is the director of Pakse Airport so we didn’t have to worry about getting in lines for check in. Once we got there we were taken care of and we sat outside talking with the relatives.

My cousins on Papa’s side of the family also came to the airport. Bay’s younger sister gave me the sinh that I had order to wear with a top she made for me. They wanted me to wear the outfit so much that I went to the restroom and changed. When I came out everyone made a comment how I went to the restroom as a foreigner and came out a Lao person.

When we had to board the plane my father’s mother was very sad. She wanted to wait until the plane has taken off and wanted to go outside on the runway to watch. We told her she couldn’t do that.

Later, I was surprise to see two of my cousins on the runway as we were boarding the plane. They are my father’s nephews. They stood and waved at us as the plane was taken off. From a distance I saw tears on their eyes. I was speechless when I saw them wiped their faces with their sleeves. I don’t think my father knew how much his relatives care for him.

Goodbye Pakse, until we meet again.
