Goodbye

I said goodbye to another friend today... Andrea hit the road for the East Coast.
Every bit as painful as I thought it would be. The others that were there helping her move have known her for only a few years. She and I have been friends for nine years. Hard to see that almost-decade come to an end.

Over the past month since she announced she was moving back east, I've had a lot of time to remember key moments in our friendship... lots of little things really. Lots of things that make me extremely sad to know are gone and will never happen again.

I seriously doubt she'll ever come back to visit, even though she initially said she would. I just don't see it. And I'll probably never be able to go visit her. Not that Aspen would ever want to, or allow me to do so.

Online friendships just aren't the same. Long-distance, online, all about the same. Without being able to see her, it's eventually going to wither I fear. I shall certainly try my best not to let that happen. Andrea is one of the best friends I've ever had. I can't believe she's gone now. I guess I can't blame her decision to leave, considering the pain caused to her by Charlie. Who wouldn't want the chance to start anew. New life, new journey, new future. God Bless you Andrea Dawn LeBlanc, and all the very best.
