The End of An Era But the Start of Something New.
In the last few years I have been so fortunate to be apart of this townhouse called barrytown. Barrytown isn't just a townhouse or a building that we live in. Its more about the people, the brotherhood of friends learning and living life together. The last few summers we have been fortunate to have been blessed with amazing trips and good times and I know memories that will most certainly last a lifetime. Sadly I know that as I write this here tonight that this will all be coming to an end very shortly. Granted I thought it was over for me a year ago but have been so lucky this past year not to miss out on anything this summer. Stephen is moving in with his sister this week in our grandma's basement not that far from us and Trevor hasen't been having much luck in the job search department and has been really thinking about heading home to ontario for the time being or for good.
As I think about those guys and how much i've gone through with them over the last number of years I know that I will fondly look back on this summer as one that went down in history as one of the best summers on record. Stephen and I got a second chance to repair our friendship and trevor and I grew closer than we ever have. Both supported me beyond what I could have imagined when I went through my winter of hell. I shared the road with them a week ago and will remember calling trevor "duty" and sleeping in the back seat while stephen drove. As I think about where we've been and where we're going I feel very lucky to have known these guys. Granted stephen is my cousin and will always be in contact i'm sure and I would like to say that same of trevor but truth be told you can never be sure. How should I look at this? Should a person be sad that an amazing chapter in life is coming to a close or should I be happy that bigger and better things are sitting in the waits? I think tonight though is a night to soak it all in and just be glad that for a few more days we will still be barrytown. We created a legacy and I hope that its remembered for the good things, the people
