not ‘goodbye’…just ‘see you later’.
I sat there in our living room, the empty room…my empty room, and thought. It was the room where we shared so much. We laughed, talked…we cried. And now you’re gone. Out there into the world all you go, and what a world it will be. I’ll miss you. Amanda, my instant friend, who invited me out when I didn’t know anybody here. Julie, the ever-smiling, ever-friendly girl who it was easy to come home to every day. And Ashley, who cried so much as she left, we fought often..but I just might miss you the most. So long my good friends, the world is yours – take it.
“A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often – just to save it from drying out completely.” — Pam Brown

every single “see you later” i’ve ever said or received has returned into a rather permanent “goodbye”. here’s wishing you better luck.

oh, the people we meet and the moments we share… so wonderful, so incredibly neat, depending on how you look at it. there are a ton of positives here and it’s all worth remembering. Looking forward to see ya home.

I don’t leave a lot of notes on people’s diaries but you have left me so many beautiful nice notes always encouraging me and letting me know you are praying for me and I just want to say thank-you so much. I just read through all my old notes and entries and consistently you left inspiring notes that let me know I’m alright, so thanx…it meant a lot.

Weird I didn’t write anything about my other roomie Pat, who was my closest friend in that house. I think maybe he dropped out and left early.
I haven’t talked to any of these people in many years, save Amanda with whom I exchange the odd FB message.
