I don't know why my life is as good as it is. Every day seems to be better than the one before it. My life has never been this rich on a daily basis....
You haven't even left and I already miss you.
That's one of my best friends. His name is Nic and he's moving to Africa for 6 months with Krochet Kids (http://krochetkids.blogspot.com/). We drove up to San Luis Obispo to visit friends this weekend and had a lot of time to talk and process the past 4 years of going through college together. We were in Taco Bell in Buellton talking about how much we had changed and how our friendship had changed since freshman year when he said, "freshman year, I never would have expected that we would be so close now."
When he leaves who will I have theological discussions and debates with? Who will call out every bullshit assertion I make?Who will talk with me about personal identity? Who will remember who I used to be and appreciate who I became?
I guess I'll have to wait 6 months. Things change, but we'll still be friends even if I'm married by the time he gets back, as he insists will be the case. His optimism is amusing. Until then I appreciate the other friendships that are so important to me, lovely people with whom I can talk, bike, laugh, cook, play speed scrabble, play video games, play flashlight tag.... etc.
Still, some people will always be hard to say goodbye to.
