We are growing up!
After I got home from taking Gris to the airport, I couldn't stop crying. Of course a lot of it had to do with the fact that she left and although I have plans to visit her at the end of the year, many things can change. I will never again yell at her at 3pm because she barely woke up when we had things to do in the morning. I will never again pick up or drop her off at her house. I will never again go with her to baskin robins and see her deliberating what she wants because she wants everything in the menu. I know that the word never is too strong but that is how I felt last night.
I was also crying because I am finally comprehending that no matter how many rpomises we make to keep contact, we will all have to go our seperate ways. I was talking to mi tia maria last night, and she was telling me that she didn't continue her high school friendships (and most of them are her cousins--sorry Liz). She'll talk to them at some family events every few years, but each of them have their own new lifes.
So I know that it is never going to be the same, and it hurts. I know that I'll have new best friends, that I'll be having these same emotions when college ends, and that new happy times will come my way, but this thought doesn't really help.
Like I told Gris, no one knows where life is going to take us, but I am only going to wish for my friends' happiness.
