Today I said goodbye

Or as Mike would say, I said "See you later." For some reason though, these things always feel like goodbye.

The Lovely Kate is moving to Alabama, and I am heartbroken to see her go. I can remember every colorful side to our relationship since the day it began, and I wouldn't change a single memory. Even back when our lives were completely different: back when we were with guys that were totally wrong, hanging out with different friends, and chasing different dreams. We've been each other's crutch in the bad times, and we've watched each other fall in love. Things have come between us, but something has always brought us back together. I will miss her terribly, but I know I will see her many times again, and throughout our lives. I know this because every now and then you come across someone who you would go to any length for. I'm honored to say I've been blessed with a good handful of just such individuals. I truly believe I will know her until I'm old, and I'll call her up and we'll talk about the good times. These times.

I want you to know that I love you Kate. If you ever need me (ever ever ever), I will always be as close to you as I have ever been before. I know that your life with Dave will take you great places. :)

Amanda, there is no way I could have made it this far without a friend like you. I consider you one of my best friends, and I think you are such a wonderful amazing person. You are capable of so many things, and I always thank God that I am lucky enough to be blessed with a friend like you. *cries* I will always be here for you, whether I am in Alabama, or China (although I hope I never end up in China...) I am a phone call, or a plane ride home away. There are a lot of friendships that fizzle out and die, or go wrong for no apparent reason, or end up with friends hating each other. I can tell you, this is not one of those friendships. We will be friends watching each others children grow up, we will be calling each other ecstatic that we are gonna be grannies! (hopefully thats not for a lonnnnng long time though... your kid is TOTALLY not knocking up my daughter =P ) One day I will be moving back to Michigan to live near my spectacular friend Amanda, and it's going to be great. I love you! And I am going to miss you terribly. But at least I know that going to WMU and dealing with all of the things I dealt with, it was so that I could end up with a friend as lovely as you.

Aww, you are so sweet Kate. :) I just know you'll thrive no matter where you go. If you ever get lonely, just thing back about all the good times we've had, and remember that you're never alone. :*
