On Saturday I began saying my farewells to friends who I won't see until, at the earliest, Christmas. My dear friend Joel Bron is gone to Homewood this week and I'm leaving before he returns so I had to say goodbye to him. I went to babysit for my sister and when I got there Joel was waiting for me. Saying goodbye was so much harder than I thought it would be, and I knew it would be so very difficult. He stayed and we talked for a bit first, but then when he left I was bawling. I gave him a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek and then waved him off from the end of the driveway. It was so terrible. Pathetic, I know, but still. I love Joel Bron. I returned to the house and sat there, actually I think I was talking to Stewart. Anyways, Joel came running back into the house and I put the phone aside and he gave me another huge hug. It was so sweet and it made me cry all the more. Poor Stewart had to sit and wait while I cried.
It's so strange to say goodbye. It sucks. I know there will be tons of people that I will meet this year and in years to come, but I love my friends and I know that a lot of us won't be as close as we are or have been. I think the part that scares me most is that I may not even notice that I don't talk to anyone from high school anymore. I'm pretty terrible a this whole explaining myself thing so I apologize.
All I wanted to say was I love Joel Bron and I hate goodbye's.
