Wow.
I just got a graduation announcement from Elli.
It came as a little card addressed to "[me] and Family," and I was staring at the address and thinking "I know that address. Whose address is that?" And I didn't open it and my mother urges me to do so because she wants to know who it's from and I looked up at her and I said "I think it's from Elli. I think that's her address. Because it looks disturbingly familiar."
She went to West. I would've gone to Verona. We only lived one street away from each other. I could walk to her house in five minutes and frequently did.
There's a picture attached to the card. I guess it's her senior picture.
It's on the 10th and 11th. They mailed the card on the 26th. I can't believe it takes four days for mail to get here. It would have been nice to know earlier, but Elli has been incommunicado for four years. From the way my mother reacted I doubt I would be able to go if I asked.
Suffice to say that I'm a litte disoriented today.
Oh, also, I called the number to activate my bank card while Mom was out. Eat that, phone.
