I posted this a while ago, and it was mentioned to me recently in an e-mail, so I thought I'd post it again (with a few minor additions). Originally, this was written in August, 2009 before my parents went to China on a two-year missions term.
One of the hardest things that I've had to do in recent memory I did just this week. I loaned my parents back to God for a while.
For about 16 months, I've known that they had the opportunity to move to China on a teaching visa for two years. Before they began planning the details of the trip, they actually came to my wife and I and asked us what we thought about the idea.
