Neither here.... nor there. {Alternately Titled: Caught in the In-Between}

I knew it would be hard. 
But I never anticipated how hard it would be. 
 It's not widely written about, talked about, or even heard of, really. 
Transitioning. 
Not from passport country to the mission field. 
Not from the mission field back to one's passport country. 

But from one host country (or "field"), to another one.  
Entirely foreign. Entirely new. Entirely different.
From a home nestled in a beautiful garden on the edge of a river in a village of Tanzania, to a home nestled in the suburbs on a thoroughfare in the city near the east coast of Australia.
