farewell

 Today is…

The day of departure. In other words, a day of exchanging goodbyes. A series of "I’ll miss you’s" and "hope to see you again soon’s" Though we hope we will, the unsettling feeling of hopelessness sets in. The chance of being able to meet again, though slim, but still possible- just seems so far away. The last time we saw each other was two years ago. Will it be another two years before we are able to reconnect again? This time it was fate. But, will our luck be in our favors yet again? The tragedy of having a best friend living across the country is a regular struggle. Even still the opportunity we were blessed with- a week together- is a memory I will forever cherish. Time is a valuable element. An element we never seem to have enough of. This week with her- my best friend, the girl I consider family- has taught me to appreciate what life offers for our friendship, no matter how little the gift may seem. This past week was a week full of creating new memories together- memories made in person (as opposed to over Skype). It was a week of fun. So to this… here’s to more memories in the future, and an everlasting friendship!
