Saying goodbye

As the time for Spencer to leave draws closer I find my self wanting to indulge in junk food and cry into my pillow. How is it done I ask myself to be separated for months at time. Then I think of all the soldiers, pioneers, and stories from the scriptures. I have the example of many to follow who have been where I am. I know I have a Heavenly who loves me and will not leave me alone. He will comfort me and give me strength as Spencer and I pray and stay true to the covenants we have made.
