4 years and it’s still really hard.  day-to-day is easier, but occasionally it hits me like a ton of bricks.  the wind gets knocked out of me, my heart is fluttery, and i feel like i can’t breathe.

my cat slept with you all weekend.  that was strange—if i was there, she always slept with me.  you said she reminded you of your cat growing up.  i blew off my senior thesis to spend time with you.  now that behavior wouldn’t surprise me, but at that phase in life it wasn’t typical by any means. i actually offended other people by blowing them off to spend time with you as well.  i am so thankful that i made those decisions.

i watched you pull away, out of my driveway and i cried.  i found it really strange at the time.  i had said goodbye many times before, pretty much at every college break.  why was i crying this time?

a week and a half later i got my answer—i cried because it was my final goodbye.  somehow my heart knew i would never see you again.

i miss you.
