i had to say good-bye to a friend this week. it was downrighht sad. i abhor saying “good-bye” to people. usually, i avoid it like the plague. i somehow manuever my schedule so that “i didn’t get to say good-bye”! it’s awkward. there are no words to say, and it’s a miserable time. this week- i had to face the inevitable- the good-bye. as always, i felt like an idiot standing there, feeling sad, excited for him, but bummed for me…and there just wasn’t anything left to say. i knew he was coming in for the last time, and i kept thinking about it. my stomach started to hurt, and i got all shaky. i’m a dork, but i feel for people. he’s meant a lot to me, and how do you sum it all up during that one moment of good-bye? well, you don’t. i, in turn, do not actually say “good-bye” to people, but rather, “see ya later!”. so- see ya later friend! until next time…
