Heather Was Here

Heather left today. She got here last Wednesday and we enjoyed an incredible week plus together.
 
I don’t think I can express how well I think things went or how happy I am that she came. And I know that we live in an incredibly cruel, unjust world, but for the past 9 days everything seemed to fit together as perfectly as I could have ever imagined. The past week has in some ways been beautiful, romantic, surreal, relaxing, meaningful, and poignant but more than anything it was fun. I don’t know that I’ve ever had more fun in my life.
 
I admit, her absence is looming all around me. She’s been at my side at every moment over the last 9 days and it’s scary just how quickly we can develop a routine. I remember the same thing happening when I visited her for the first time, only this time her absence looms even heavier, since I’m still in the same place, just without her here. Still, I’m trying to not be sad that she’s gone and instead just be happy that she came. I am so happy that she came.
 
Anyway, I’m ages behind on OD reading as I haven’t even read an entry the whole time that Heather was visiting. I will try to catch up on noting/reading as well as possible. I hope life has been treating you all as well as it has me.
