Wow, you're leaving Bulgaria and it was news in our household in Australia - great thing the internet isn't it?  I love catching up on your blog and reading of your adventures and thoughts on Bulgaria.  I struggle living in Bulgaria for more than a month at a time - short doses are best for me (I'm Australian, married to a Bulgarian) - so I think that five years making a life there for yourself is the most extraordinary effort and commitment to a job, a culture, a language and a country that most of us just wouldn't have inside of us.  In short, I think you're an amazing lady.  You deserve the best for whatever adventure you decide to tackle next.  Enjoy the rest of your time in BG,  I'll be reading along to the end for sure.
PS.  I would have cried a lot too!
PPS.  Lovely literary reference in your title...
